how does the energy in a capacitor change if the potential difference is doubled, as the capacitor remains connected to a battery?



Answer :

The energy kept in the capacitor when the potential difference becomes double is four times the initial kept  energy,

The energy kept in the capacitor when the charge on each plate forms double is four times the initially stored energy.

Potential Difference :

The final potential difference is V₂=2V₁.

For the potential difference is doubled:

The formula of the energy kept in a capacitor can be defined by                                                                                                                                                U₁=12CV₁₂  

Then, U₁ describe the energy kept in a capacitor,

C define the capacitance and

V₁ is the potential difference.

Also , when the value of potential difference changes then the formula to calculate the energy kept  in the same capacitor is presented  by                                                           U₂=12CV₂₂

Here, U₂ defines  the final energy kept  in the capacitor after the potential change.

Commute  all the known values in the above formula.

                      U₂=12(C)(2V₁)₂=4[12(C)(V₁)₂]=4U₁

For the charge on each plate is doubled:

The final charge on each plate can be represented as Q₂=2Q₁.The formula of the energy stored in a capacitor can be represented by,    U₁=Q₁22C

Also , U₁ defines  the energy kept  in a capacitor, C describes  the capacitance and Q₁ is the initial charge on the plate.

Likewise , when the value of charge on each plate changes then the formula to calculate the energy kept  in the same capacitor is defined  by,U₂=Q₂22C

Then , U₂ defines  the final energy kept in the capacitor after the charge on each plate changes.

Computing  all the known values in the above formula.

                                     U₂=(2Q₁)22C=4(Q₁22C)=4U₁

Hence , the energy kept  in the capacitor when the potential difference becomes double is four times the initial kept energy, and the energy kept in the capacitor when the charge on each plate becomes double is four times the initially kept  energy..
