A parallel-plate capacitor is made of two square plates 20 cm on a side and 1 mm apart. The capacitor is connected to a 50-V battery. Hint # a. What is the energy stored in the capacitor? Energy stored in the capacitor is b. With the battery still connected, the plates are pulled apart to a separation of 2 mm. What is the energy stored in the capacitor now? Energy now stored in the capacitor is c.
