An ideal air-filled parallel-plate capacitor has round plates and carries a fixed amount of equal but opposite charge on its plates. All the geometric parameters of the capacitor (plate diameter and plate separation) are now DOUBLED. If the original energy stored in the capacitor was U0, how much energy does it now store?Answera. U0/4b. U0c. U0/2d. 4U0e. 2U0

Respuesta :

Answer:

C). [tex]U_f = \frac{U_0}{2}[/tex]

Explanation:

As we know that capacitance of a given capacitor is

[tex]C = \frac{\epsilon_0 A}{d}[/tex]

now we know that energy stored in the capacitor plates

[tex]U_0 = \frac{Q^2}{2C}[/tex]

here if all the dimensions of the capacitor plate is doubled

then in that case

[tex]C' = \frac{\epsilon_0 (4A)}{2d}[/tex]

here area becomes 4 times on doubling the radius and the distance between the plates also doubles

So new capacitance is now

[tex]C' = 2C[/tex]

so capacitance is doubled

now the final energy stored between the plates of capacitor is given as

[tex]U_f = \frac{Q^2}{2C'}[/tex]

so the final energy is

[tex]U_f = \frac{Q^2}{4C}[/tex]

[tex]U_f = \frac{U_0}{2}[/tex]

Option C is correct.ll the geometric parameters of the capacitor are now doubled.The original energy stored in the capacitor was U₀. Energy does it now store [tex]\rm \frac{U_0}{2}[/tex].

What is parallel plate capacitor ?

It is a type of capacitor in which two metal plates are arranged in such a way that they are connected in parallel and have some distance between them.

A dielectric medium is a must in between these plates helps to stop the flow of electric current through it due to its non-conductive nature.The capacitance between the two plates is given by,

The capacitance of a given capacitor is;

[tex]\rm C=\frac{\epsilon_0A}{d}[/tex]

The energy stored in the capacitor plates is;

[tex]\rm U = \frac{Q^2}{2C}[/tex]

For the given new conditions;

[tex]\rm C'=\frac{\epsilon_0( 4A)}{2d}\\\\ \rm \rm C'=2C[/tex]

Energy stored is the inversely proportional to the capacitance then . If the original energy stored in the capacitor was U₀. Energy does it now store [tex]\rm \frac{U_0}{2}[/tex].

Hence option C is correct
