A capacitor consists of a set of two parallel plates of area A separated by a very small distance d. When this capacitor is connected to a battery that maintains a constant potential difference between the plates, the energy stored in the capacitor is UO. If the separation between the plates is quadrupled, how much energy is stored in the capacitor? 4U0 2U0 UO U0/4 O None of the above
