Answer to Problem 76GP
Explanation of Solution
Given data:
Capacitance,
Potential,
Formula used:
The potential energy stored in a capacitor:
Since,
Where,
Calculation:
The energy stored in the capacitor:
The final energy is half the initial energy.
To calculate the amount of charge lost, first find the final charge and then subtract it form the initial charge:
Substitute all the values in equation
Conclusion:
The required value is
