A capacitor is charged with a battery and energy stored is U. After disconnecting battery another capacitor of same capacity is connected in parallel with it. Then energy stored in each capacitor is:

A

`U//2`

B

U

C

2U

D

4U

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`U=Q^2/(2C)implies U prop 1/C`
Because Q = constant
as `C. =C/2 implies U. =2U`
