MCQ
Two identical capacitors A and B are charged to the same potential V and are connected in two circuits at t = 0 as shown in figure. The charges on the capahltors at a time t = CR are, respectively:
  • A
    $\text{VC}, \text{VC}$
  • ✓
    $\frac{\text{VC}}{\text{e}}, \text{VC}$
  • C
    $\text{VC}, \frac{\text{VC}}{\text{e}}$
  • D
    $\frac{\text{VC}}{\text{e}}, \frac{\text{VC}}{\text{e}}$
✓

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\frac{\text{VC}}{\text{e}}, \text{VC}$
In circuit (a), the diode is forward biassed. So, it offers negligible resistance to the flow of current and can thus be replaced by a short circuit. Now, the capacitor charge will leak through the resistance and decay exponentially with time.
Capacitor charge $=\frac{\text{VC}}{\text{e}}$
In circuit (b), the diode is reverse biassed. So, it offers infinite resistance to the current flow and can thus be replaced by an open circuit. As the circuit is open now, no current can flow across the resistance. So, the charge in the capacitor cannot leak through the resistor.
Capacitor charge = VC

There are two identical chambers, completely thermally insulated from surroundings. Both chambers have a partition wall dividing the chambers in two compartments. Compartment $1$ is filled with an ideal gas and Compartment $3$ is filled with a real gas. Compartments $2$ and $4$ are vacuum . A small hole (orifice) is made in the partition walls and the gases are allowed to expand in vacuum

Statement $-1$ : No change in the temperature of the gas takes place when ideal gas expands in vacuum. However, the temperature of real gas goes down (cooling) when it expands in vacuum

Statement $-2$ : The internal energy of an ideal gas is only kinetic. The internal energy of a real gas is kinetic as well as potential
