Two parallel plate capacitors, X and Y, have the same area of plates and the same separation between them. They are connected in series across a 12 V battery. X has air between the plates while Y contains a dielectric medium of dielectric constant 4. The ratio of electrostatic energy stored in X and Y is |
4 : 1 1 : 4 2 : 1 1 : 2 |
4 : 1 |
The correct answer is Option (1) → 4 : 1 |
