Show Answer
Solution:
Ans. The slope of $Q-V$ graph of capacitor gives capacitance, therefore, capacitor $\Delta$ have greater capacitance. Since, two capacitors are given same voltage $V$, therefore energy stored in a capacitor will be given by formula.
$$ \begin{array}{ll} \because & C_{L}>C_{K} \ \Rightarrow & U_{L}>U_{K} \end{array} $$
$\Rightarrow$ Capacitor $L$ with store more electrostatic energy.
