The amount of work done in increasing the voltage across the plates of a capacitor from $5 V$ to $10 V$ is $W$. The work done in increasing it from $10 V$ to $15 V$ will be

Energy is stored in what form in a capacitor?

An uncharged capacitor is connected to a battery. While charging the capacitor,how much is the energy lost,from the energy supplied by the battery (in $\%$)?

$A$ capacitor of capacitance $5 \mu F$ is charged by a battery of emf $10 \text{ V}$. At an instant of time,the potential difference across the capacitor is $4 \text{ V}$ and the time rate of change of potential difference across the capacitor is $0.6 \text{ Vs}^{-1}$. Then,the time rate at which energy is stored in the capacitor at that instant is:

The plates of a parallel plate capacitor have an area of $90 \,cm^{2}$ each and are separated by $2.5 \,mm$. The capacitor is charged by connecting it to a $400 \,V$ supply.
$(a)$ How much electrostatic energy is stored by the capacitor?
$(b)$ View this energy as stored in the electrostatic field between the plates,and obtain the energy per unit volume $u$. Hence arrive at a relation between $u$ and the magnitude of electric field $E$ between the plates.
