If the charge on the capacitor is increased by $2 \mathrm{C}$. The energy stored in it increase by $21 \%$. Total original charge on the capacitor is
- 10 C
- 5 C
- 20 C
- 15 C
Solution
$\begin{aligned}
& U=\frac{q^2}{2 \mathrm{C}} \\
& 1.21 U=\frac{(q+2)^2}{2 \mathrm{C}}
\end{aligned}$
By solving them,
$q=20 \mathrm{C}$
