Question

A capacitor of capacitance C has charge Q and stored energy W. If the charge is increased to 2Q, the stored energy would be:


  1. W4
  2. 2W
  3. W2
  4. 4W

A
W2
B
4W
C
2W
D
W4
Solution
Verified by Toppr

We know that the energy stored in a capacitor is given by:
W=Q22C

Now, if the charge Q increases to 2Q,
then the change in energy will be given by:

W=(2Q)22C

4Q22C=4W
