Question

Three capacitors C1,C2 and C3 are connected to a battery as shown in Fig 24-3. The three capacitors have equal capacitances. Which capacitors stores the most potential energy? C1 C3 C2 C2 or C3. They store the same amount of energy. All three capacitors store the same amount of energy. A dielectric is inserted between the plates of an isolated parallel-plate capacitor that carries a charge Q. What happens to the potential energy stored in the capacitor? The potential energy of the capacitors increase or decrease depending on the value of the dielectric constant of the capacitor. The potential energy of the capacitor increases. The potential energy of the capacitor decrease. The potential energy of the capacitor remains the same More information to needed to answer the question.

Explanation / Answer

7)option A is the correct answer it will have a potential of V potential energy of a capacitor is 1/2CV^2 8) option C is the correct answer since energy is given as 1/2KCV^2 where K is the dielectric constant which is less than 1
