Initially the circuit is in steady state. When the switch S is closed, the heat generated in the circuit will be:
ε2C2
2ε2C
3ε2C2
zero
As switch is closed potential difference across capacitor is still 'E' VA−VB=E
For the circuit shown in the figure, initially the switch is closed for a long time so that steady state has been reached. Then at t=0, the switch is opened, due to which current in the circuit decays to zero. The heat generated in the inductor is [L = self inductance of inductor, r = resistance of inductor] :
