An uncharged parallel-plate capacitor is connected through an open switch to a battery of voltage VV. The switch is closed and the capacitor is allowed to charge. As the capacitor is charged, energy is transferred to it from the battery. When the capacitor is fully charged, the energy stored in the capacitor is U1U1 . The energy stored in the capacitor when the stored charge is q02q02 is

(1/2)U₁

Explanation:

An uncharged parallel-plate capacitor is connected through an open switch to a battery of voltage VV. The switch is closed and the capacitor is allowed to charge. As the capacitor is charged, energy is transferred to it from the battery. When the capacitor is fully charged, the energy stored in the capacitor is U1U1 . The energy stored in the capacitor when the stored charge is q₁/2 is

Solution:

A capacitor is an electrical device used to store electrical energy in an electric field. The energy stored in a capacitor is given by:

U = (1/2)QV; where U is the energy stored, Q is the charge and V is the voltage applied.

The energy stored in a fully charged capacitor with a charge q₁ and battery of voltage V is given as:

U₁ = (1/2)q₁V

If the stored charge is q₁/2, the energy stored (U₂) becomes:

U₂ = (1/2)(q₁ / 2)V

U₂ = (1/2)*  (1/2)q₁V

U₂ = (1/2)U₁

air exerts forces on falling objects near earth’s surface.

explanation:

the term 'free falls' refer to object that are falling towards the earth, in a situation in which gravity is the only force acting on the object.

for an object in free fall, the acceleration is constant (g, the gravitational acceleration), and so the velocity of the object constantly increases.

for objects near earth's surface, there is always another force acting on the object: the resistance due to the air. this force is opposed to the direction of fall of the object, and it is proportional to the velocity of the object, so as the object falls down, this force increases up to a point when it balances the force of gravity, and the object continues its motion at constant velocity (called terminal velocity). since in this case gravity is not the only force acting on the object, we are not in a situation of free fall.
