    A cylindrical capacitor has charge Q and length L. If both the charge and length of the capacitors are doubled, by keeping other parameters fixed, the energy stored in the capacitor

    A)  remains same

    B)  increases two times

    C)  decreases two times

    D)  increases four times  

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Energy of a charged capacitor, \[E=\frac{1}{2}\frac{{{Q}^{2}}}{C}\] \[C=\frac{2\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}L}{{{\log }_{e}}\left( \frac{b}{a} \right)}\] \[E=\frac{1}{2}\frac{{{Q}^{2}}}{2\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}L}{{\log }_{e}}\left( \frac{b}{a} \right)\]              ?.(i) for a cylindrical capacitor. where L = length of the cylinders a and b = radii of two concentric cylinders \[C=\frac{2\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}(2L)}{{{\log }_{e}}\left( \frac{b}{a} \right)}\] \[E=\frac{1}{2}\frac{{{(2Q)}^{2}}}{C}\] \[=\frac{1}{2}\frac{{{(2Q)}^{2}}}{2\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}(2L)}{{\log }_{e}}\left( \frac{b}{a} \right)\]           ?..(ii) From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get \[E=2E\]
