A parallel plate capacitor of capacitance C is charged to a potential V. It is then connected to another uncharged capacitor having the same capacitance. Find out the ratio of the energy stored in the combined system to that stored initially in the single capacitor.

उत्तर
Let 'q' be the charge on the charged capacitor. Energy stored in it is
`U=q^2/(2C)`
When another similar uncharged capacitor is connected, the net capacitance of the system is C' = 2C
The charge on the system is constant. So, the energy stored in the system now is
`U'=q^2/(2(C"))`
`=>U'=q^2/(2(2C))`
`=>U'=q^2/(4C)`
Thus, the required ratio is
`(U')/U=(q^2/(4C))/(q^2/(2C))`
`=>(U')/U=1/2`

During a thunder storm, the movement of water molecules within the clouds creates friction, partially causing the bottom part of the clouds to become negatively charged. This implies that the bottom of the cloud and the ground act as a parallel plate capacitor. If the electric field between the cloud and ground exceeds the dielectric breakdown of the air (3 × 106 Vm–1), lightning will occur.
