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

$A$ capacitor is charged to $200\,V$. It has $0.1\,C$ of charge. When it is discharged,the energy released will be $J$.

The charge $q$ on a capacitor varies with voltage $V$ as shown in the graph. The area of $\Delta OPM$ represents:

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):

If the charge on the capacitor is increased by $3 \ C$,the energy stored in it increases by $21 \%$. The original charge on the capacitor is (in $C$)
