AP Physics 2
10.6 Capacitors
10.5 Electric Potential
10.4 Electric Potential Energy

Capacitor 1: Remains connected to the battery while its plate separation is increased to \(2d\).
Capacitor 2: Is disconnected from the battery, after which its plate separation is increased to \(2d\).
Capacitor 3: Remains connected to the battery while its plate separation is decreased to \(d/2\).
Capacitor 4: Is disconnected from the battery, after which its plate separation is decreased to \(d/2\).
Which of the following correctly ranks the final electric potential energies \(U_1\), \(U_2\), \(U_3\), and \(U_4\) stored in the four capacitors?
