A capacitor of capacitance C has charge Q and stored energy is W. lf the charge is increase to 2Q. The stored energy will be:

Correct answer: D. 4W

  • A. W/4
  • B. W/2
  • C. 2W
  • D. 4W

Explanation

We know that the energy stored in a capacitor is given by: W=Q2 /2C Now, if the charge Q increases to 2Q, then the change in energy will be given by: W′=(2Q)2 /2C ⇒4Q2/2C =4W THUS THIS IS THE CORRECT ANSWER.
