Question
In terms of the charge stored $(Q)$ and the potential difference $(V)$ the energy stored in a capacitor is (a) $2 Q V$; (b) $Q V$;(c) $\frac{1}{2} Q V$(d) $Q / V$.
Step 1
Step 1: The energy stored in a capacitor is given by the formula $U = \frac{1}{2} C V^2$, where $C$ is the capacitance and $V$ is the potential difference. Show more…

A capacitor of capacitance $C$ is charged to a potential difference $V$ from a cell and then disconnected from it. A charge $+Q$ is now given to its positive plate. The potential difference across the capacitor is now: (a) $V$ (b) $V+\frac{Q}{C}$ (c) $V+\frac{\partial}{2 C}$ (d) $V-\frac{Q}{C}$
Energy stored in a capacitor is terms of Q and V
$C, V, U$ and $Q$ are capacitance, potential difference, energy stored and charge of a parallel plate capacitor respectively. The quantities that when a dielectric slab is introduced between the plates without disconnecting the battery are (a) $V$ and $C$ (b) $V$ and $U$ (c) $U$ and $Q$ (d) $V$ and $Q$
