PhysicsElectrostatic Potential and CapacitanceMHT CET

Statement 1: A parallel plate capacitor is charged by connecting it across a battery. The battery is then disconnected and separation between the plates is decreased as a result of which the energy stored in the capacitor decreases Statement 2: Energy stored in the capacitor is equal to the work done in charging the capacitor

Answer: (B)

Solution

With the battery removed is constant; decreasing the separation raises , so decreases (Statement 1 true); Statement 2 is also
