A 6.00-μf parallel-plate capacitor has charges of 40.0 μc on its plates. how much potential energy is stored in this capacitor?
dedylja [7]

Thew energy stored in a capacitor of capacitance C and voltage between the plates V is

E=\frac{1}{2} CV^2=\frac{1}{2C} Q^2.

Substituting numerical value

E=\frac{1}{2*6*10^{-6}} (40*10^{-6})^2\\ E=133.33\; \mu J
