Consider a parallel plate capacitor of area $A$ (of each plate) and separation $d$ between the plates. If $E$ is the electric field and $\varepsilon_0$ is the permittivity of free space between the plates,then the potential energy stored in the capacitor is $:-$

Three plates $A, B, C$ each have an area of $50 \, cm^2$ and the distance between them is $3 \, mm$. Find the energy stored in the system when the plates are fully charged.

The total energy stored in the capacitor system shown in the figure will be (in $\mu J$)

$A$ parallel plate capacitor has plate area $A$ and separation between plates is $d$. It is charged to a potential difference of $V_0$ volt. The charging battery is then disconnected and plates are pulled apart to three times the initial distance. The work done to increase the distance between the plates is $(\varepsilon_0 = \text{permittivity of free space})$

The charge $q$ on a capacitor varies with voltage $V$ as shown in the figure. The area of the triangle $AOB$ is proportional to
