Answer to Question 1

A charged capacitor stores electrical energy. The net effect of charging a capacitor is to remove charge from one plate and add it to the other plate. This is what a battery does when it is connected to a capacitor. A capacitor does not become charged instantly. It takes time. Initially, when the capacitor is uncharged, it requires no work to move the first bit of charge over. When some charge is on each plate, it requires work to add more charge of the same sign because of the electric repulsion. The more charge already on a plate, the more work required to add additional charge.

Answer to Question 2

FALSE
