Switch 'S' is initially closed. When steady state is reached, S is opened. Heat lost in resistor after 'S' is opened is ?

figure

Answer:
0
Solution:

With S closed in steady state, capacitors are fully charged and no current flows.

 

After S is opened, no closed conducting path remains through the resistor, so no charge passes through it.

 

Heat lost in resistor = 0 ⇒ n × 50 µJ = 0 ⇒ n = 0.
