Question

A complete circuit with a capacitor is turned on. Charges are moved from one plate of the capacitor, through the battery, and all the way around to the other plate. Which of the following occur during that time?

Kinetic energy is decreased.
Thermal energy is decreased.
Chemical potential energy is increased.
Electrical potential energy is increased.

Answer 1

Electrical potential energy is increased.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a complete circuit with a capacitor is turned on, charges are moved from one plate to another through the battery, increasing the electrical potential energy.
