Suppose that we have a 1000pF parallel-plate capacitor with air dielectric charged to 1000V. The capacitor terminals are open circuited. Find the stored energy. If the plates are moved farther apart so that d is doubled, determine the new voltage on the capacitor and the new stored energy. Where did the extra energy come from?
