i need some help in energy dissipation

suppose a sinusoidal supply with peak value vdd is connected to P terminal of diode and N terminal of diode is connected to source of of pmos which is in conduction state and drain of this pmos is connected to a capacitor of value c.

what will be its energy dissipated.
 

You mean the capacitor is between the drain of the PMOS and ground... right?

Added:
What is about the gate? Sorry, you already said the PMOS is conducting

In case there is only C, then there is a transient dissipation till C is charged to the peak voltage. This transient power (energy) depends on the equivalent series resistance (impedance in general) between the supply and C.

Just a guess, if this circuit is a part of a controlled rectifier then there will be a load in parallel with C.

sir you are asbolutly right its a controlled rectifier , will there be any enrgy dissipation in diode due to vd and some power dissipation in pmos because pmos will be off till vgs becomes equal to vt .so what will be out put voltage and what will be enrgy dissipated.
 

Assuming, the voltage source has zero inner resistance, the capacitor voltage is initially zero and vdd-vdiode at the end. Then the capcitor will hold an energy of 0.5*C*(vdd-vdiode)². The same energy amount has been dissipated in the diode and MOSFET combination.
