Question
If the potential difference across a capacitor is doubled, by what factor is the electrical potential energy stored in the capacitor multiplied?
Step 1
If the potential difference across the capacitor is doubled, we can represent this as 2V. Now, let's substitute this new value into the formula: Show more…

If the voltage across a capacitor is doubled, by how much does the stored energy change?
if potential difference across two plates of a parallel plate capacitor is doubled then find the energy stored in it ?
A $100 \mathrm{pF}$ capacitor is charged to a potential difference of $80.0 \mathrm{~V}$, and the charging battery is disconnected. The capacitor is then connected in parallel with a second (initially uncharged) capacitor. If the potential difference across the first capacitor drops to $35.0 \mathrm{~V}$, what is the capacitance of this second capacitor?
