Solve the following question.
A parallel plate capacitor is charged by a battery to a potential difference V. It is disconnected from the battery and then connected to another uncharged capacitor of the same capacitance. Calculate the ratio of the energy stored in the combination to the initial energy on the single capacitor.

उत्तर
`E_f = 1/2 ((CV)/2)^2/C + 1/2 ((CV)/2)^2/C`
= `(C^2V^2)/(4C)`
`E_f = 1/4 CV^2`
`E_f/E_i = (1/4 CV^2)/(1/2 CV^2) = 1/2`

Draw a neat labelled diagram of a parallel plate capacitor completely filled with dielectric.
What is the area of the plates of a 2 F parallel plate capacitor, given that the separation between the plates is 0.5 cm? [You will realize from your answer why ordinary capacitors are in the range of µF or less. However, electrolytic capacitors do have a much larger capacitance (0.1 F) because of very minute separation between the conductors.]
