Question 17 POST_UTME_IMS_U • 2020 • PHYSICS • objective

A parallel plate capacitor has a capaci\tance of $C = 2 \times 10^{-6} , \text{F}$ and is charged to a potential difference of $V = 10 , \text{V}$. If the plates are then separated by a dis\tance $d = 2 , \text{mm}$, what is the energy stored in the capacitor?

Answer Options

Correct Answer A. \( U = \frac{1}{2}CV^2 \)
B. \( U = \frac{1}{2}CV \)
C. \( U = \frac{1}{2}CV^2 left\( 1 - \frac{d}{D} \right \ \) )
D. \( U = \frac{1}{2}CV^2 left\( 1 + \frac{d}{D} \right \ \) )
Correct Answer
A
Correct Option:
\( U = \frac{1}{2}CV^2 \)
