A parallel plate condenser has a uniform electric field \(E\) (V/m) in the space between the plates. If the distance between the plates is \(d\) (m) and the area of each plate is \(A\) (m2), the energy (joule) stored in the condenser is:

A series combination of n1 capacitors, each of value C1, is charged by a source of potential difference 4V. When another parallel combination of n2 capacitors, each of value C2, is charged by a source of potential difference V, it has the same (total) energy stored in it, as the first combination has. The value of C2, in terms of C1, is then:
1.
2.
3.
4.
