The capacity of a parallel plate air capacitor is 10 mu F and it is given a charge of 40 mu C . The electrical energy stored in the capacitor is

The parallel plate capacitors shown in the Figure have capacitance C_(1) = C and C_(2) = 2C . The switch S is opened. Energy stored in the capacitor system is U_(1) . Now the separation between the plates of C_(1) is slowly reduced to half its original value. Energy stored in the capacitor system now changes to U_(2) . (a) Which will be larger - U_(1) or U_(2) ? Why ? (b) Calculate work done by the external agent in slowly reducing the distance between the plates of C_(1) . (c) If the plate separation of C_(1) is reduced to half and simultaneously the separation between plates of C_(2) is doubled, will the energy stored in the capacitor system increase or decrease? Quantify the change in energy.
