What is the formula for the energy stored in a capacitor?
E = 1/2 * C * I^2
E = C * V^2 / 2
E = C * V

What happens to the energy stored in a capacitor when the voltage is doubled?
The energy stored in the capacitor quadruples.
The energy stored in the capacitor doubles.
The energy stored in the capacitor remains the same.
The energy stored in the capacitor decreases by half.
If two capacitors are in series, how is the total capacitance calculated?
C_total = C1 + C2
C_total = 1 / (1/C1 + 1/C2)
C_total = C1 - C2

What effect does a dielectric material have on the capacitance of a capacitor?
A dielectric material increases the capacitance of a capacitor.
A dielectric material has no effect on the capacitance of a capacitor.
A dielectric material decreases the capacitance of a capacitor.
A dielectric material only affects the voltage across the capacitor.
What is the relationship between the dielectric strength and the maximum voltage a capacitor can handle?
Dielectric strength is unrelated to voltage ratings.
The maximum voltage a capacitor can handle is limited by the dielectric strength of its insulating material.
Capacitors can handle any voltage regardless of dielectric strength.
Higher dielectric strength allows for lower maximum voltage.
What happens to the stored energy in a capacitor when a dielectric is inserted?
The stored energy in a capacitor decreases when a dielectric is inserted.
