A parallel plate capacitor of capacity \(C_0\) is charged to a potential \(V_0\). (i) The energy stored in the capacitor when the battery is disconnected and the plate separation is doubled is \(E_1\). (ii) The energy stored in the capacitor when the charging battery is kept connected and the separation between the capacitor plates is doubled is \(E_2\). Then, \(E_1 / E_2\) value is:

  1. A 4
  2. B \(3 / 2\)
  3. C 2
  4. D \(1 / 2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 4

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Capacitance of parallel plate capacitor, \(C_0=\frac{\varepsilon_0 A}{d}\) where, \(A=\) area of the plates, \(d=\) separation between the plates Charge stored in the capacitor, \(Q=C_0 V_0\) When battery is disconnected, then charge remains same. So, energy,…
