Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

The potential energy stored in a capacitor is directly proportional to which of the following? (2023)
  • Step 1: Understand that a capacitor stores energy in an electric field.
  • Step 2: Know the formula for potential energy (U) in a capacitor: U = 1/2 CV^2.
  • Step 3: Identify the variables in the formula: C is capacitance and V is voltage.
  • Step 4: Recognize that potential energy (U) depends on the square of the voltage (V) and the capacitance (C).
  • Step 5: Conclude that potential energy is directly proportional to both capacitance (C) and the square of the voltage (V^2).
