Given information
It is required to calculate the change in the energy stored in a capacitor when the capacitor remains connected to a battery and the separation of the plates is doubled.
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
The energy stored in a capacitor calculated as,
Where C= the capacitance
V= potential difference
The capacitance C is calculated as,
Where d= the separation between plates
A= area of the plate
