Question

Two parallel plate capacitors have the same plate area, but the distance between the plates of capacitor A is 1.5 mm whereas that for capacitor B is 3.3 mm. When placed across the terminals of a battery, capacitor A stores 447 μJ of energy. If capacitor B were attached to this same battery, how much energy would it store? Answer in μJ to the nearest μJ.

Name: 1 two parallel plate capacitors have the same plate area but the distance between the plates of capacitor a is 15 mm whereas that for capacitor b is 33 mm when placed across the terminals of 24388

Step 1

5 mm = 1.5 \times 10^{-3} m \) \( d_B = 3.3 mm = 3.3 \times 10^{-3} m \) Plugging in the values: \( U_B = 447 \times 10^{-6} \times \frac{3.3 \times 10^{-3}}{1.5 \times 10^{-3}} \) Show more…
