If the plates of the capacitor are moved further apart by means of insulating handles. A parallel plate capacitor is charged and the charging battery is then disconnected.


Important Questions on Capacitance and Capacitors


A parallel plate capacitor of capacitance C is connected to a battery and is charged to a potential difference V. Another capacitor of capacitance 2C is similarly charged to a potential difference 2V. The charging battery is now disconnected and the capacitors are connected in parallel to each other in such a way that the positive terminal of one is connected to the negative terminal of the other. The final energy of the configuration is:
