A capacitor stores 7.6 x 10^-11 C when the electric potential difference between the plates is 5.8 v. What is the electric potential energy in the capacitor

Respuesta :

Use the formula for energy stored between the plates of a capacitor:

[tex]E = \frac{1}{2}QU=\frac{1}{2}7.6\cdot 10^{-11}C\cdot 5.8V= 2.2\cdot 10^{-10}J[/tex]

where Q is he charge (given) and U is the electric potential (aka voltage), given.

The stored energy is 2.2 10^{-10} Joules.
