If the potentail difference across a capacitor is doubled, what happens to : (a) the charge on the capacitore and (b) the energy stored in the capacitor

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(a) As Q = CV, If V doubles , charge also gets doubled,
(b) AS `U = (1)/(2) CV^(2),` if V is doubled , U is quadrupled.
