In an isolated charged parallel plate capacitor the electrostatic potential energy stored in it is 12µJ. Find the work done in increasing the separation between the plates to 2 times its original value.

a
6µJ
b
18µJ
c
8µJ
d
12µJ

detailed solution

Correct option is D

Ci=ε0Ad  and  Cf=ε0A2d=Ci2∴Ui=Q22Ci  and  Uf=Q22Cf=Q22Ci2=2Ui∴W=Uf−Ui=2Ui−Ui=Ui=12μJ
