Solution

The energy (U) stored in a capacitor is given by the formula U = 1/2 * C * V^2, where C is the capacitance and V is the voltage.

The capacitance (C) of a parallel plate capacitor is given by the formula C = ε * A/d, where ε is the permittivity of the material between the plates, A is the area of one of the plates, and d is the distance between the plates.

If the distance (d) between the plates is doubled, the capacitance (C) will be halved (since C and d are inversely proportional).

Substituting this back into the formula for U, we get U = 1/2 * (C/2) * V^2 = 1/4 * C * V^2.

So, the energy stored in the capacitor will be halved.
