The graph shows the growth of charge with potential differences between plates. The area under the graph shows:
Correct answer: C. Energy stored
- A. Capacitance
- B. Seperation of plates
- C. Energy stored
- D. Electric intensity
Explanation
Option C is correct as Area under graph = Area under triangle = 0.5 x base X height Area under graph = 0.5 Q X V =Energy stored between plates of capacitor

About Electrostatics
Electrostatics describes forces between charges through Coulomb's law, electric fields and field intensity, then uses electric potential to measure energy per unit charge. Capacitors store charge and electrical energy, with capacitance depending on geometry and dielectric material, not simply on the amount of charge present.
