Energy per unit volume for a capacitor having area $A$ and separation $d$ kept at potential difference $V$ is given by

  • A
    $\frac{1}{2} \varepsilon_{0} \frac{V^{2}}{d^{2}}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{2 \varepsilon_{0}} \frac{V^{2}}{d^{2}}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{2} C V^{2}$
  • D
    $\frac{Q^{2}}{2 C}$

An uncharged capacitor is connected to a battery. On charging the capacitor,

Three plates $A, B, C$ each of area $50 \, cm^2$ have a separation of $3 \, mm$ between $A$ and $B$ and $3 \, mm$ between $B$ and $C$. The energy stored when the plates are fully charged is (as shown in the figure):

$A$ parallel plate capacitor has plate area $A$ and separation between plates is $d$. It is charged to a potential difference of $V_0$ volt. The charging battery is then disconnected and plates are pulled apart to three times the initial distance. The work done to increase the distance between the plates is $(\varepsilon_0 = \text{permittivity of free space})$
