Answer:

F) The energy in proportional to the square the charge stored on the capacitor.

Explanation:

As we know that the energy stored between the plates of capacitor is given by the formula

[tex]U = \frac{1}{2}CV^2[/tex]

also the charge stored between the plates is given as

[tex]Q = CV[/tex]

now we use both equations then we have

[tex]U = \frac{Q^2}{2C}[/tex]

since the capacitance of the capacitor is always constant here so we will have correct answer as

F) The energy in proportional to the square the charge stored on the capacitor.
