A capacitor of capacitance $C$ is charged to a potential difference $V_{0}$. The charged battery is disconnected and the capacitor is connected to a capacitor of unknown capacitance $C_{x}$. The potential difference across the combination is $V$. The value of $C_{r}$ should be : (a) $\frac{C\left(V_{0}-V\right)}{V}$ (b) $\frac{C\left(V-V_{0}\right)}{V}$ (c) $\frac{\mathrm{CV}}{V_{0}}$ (d) $\frac{C V_{0}}{V}$
A capacitor of capacitance $C$ is charged to a potential difference $V$ from a cell and then disconnected from it. A charge $+Q$ is now given to its positive plate. The potential difference across the capacitor is now: (a) $V$ (b) $V+\frac{Q}{C}$ (c) $V+\frac{\partial}{2 C}$ (d) $V-\frac{Q}{C}$
A capacitor $C$ is charged to a potential $V$ by a battery. The emf of the battery is $V$. It is then disconnected from the battery and again connected with it, when its polarity reversed to the battery: (a) The work done by the battery is $2 C V^{2}$ (b) The total charge passing through the battery is $2 \mathrm{CV}$ (c) The initial and final energy of a capacitor is same (d) all of the above
