Solution

Dear student
Let a capacitor of capacitance C is charged with the cell of emf E volt.Charge supplied by the cell Q=C×EEnergy supplied by the cell =Work done by the cell is=E×Q=E×C×E=CE2Energy stored in the capacitor =12C×E2Energy supplied by the cell=Increase in energy of capacitor+Heat producedCE2=12C×E2+Heat producedHeat produced=12C×E2Regards
