The graph shown here, shows the variation of the total energy ( E) stored in a capacitor against the value of the capacitance (C ) itself. Which of the two the charge on the capacitance or the potential used to charge it is kept constant for this graph?

Answer»

SOLUTION :Energy stored in a capacitor,
`E=(Q^2)/(2C)= (1)/(2)CV^2`
The NATURE of the graph suggests that it is a plot of the equation,
`E= (Q^2)/(2C)`
Hence in this graph the CHARGE on the capacitor (Q) is kept constant.
