Start with saying “If...” and then say “the the....”
Answer:
Explanation:
plate separation = 2.3 x 10⁻³ m
capacity C₁ = ε A / d
= ε A / 2.3 x 10⁻³
C₂ = ε A / 1.15 x 10⁻³
= 
a ) when charge remains constant
energy = 
q is charge and C is capacity
energy stored initially E₁= 
energy stored finally E₂ = 
= 
= 
= 
= 4.19 J
b )
In this case potential diff remains constant
energy of capacitor = 1/2 C V²
energy is proportional to capacity as V is constant .


= 16.76 .
The part of the question that says " x 10⁶ " means
" move the decimal point 6 places that way ===> ".
So take the 1.986 and do that to it.
If there aren't enough places to move the decimal point far enough,
add some zeros to the 1.986 before you move the point.
