A gas has to become ionisied in order to become a conductor. It must have a chain reaction in which atoms in it became unstable, in which they loose stabile electronic configuration. In order for a gas to become a conductor, it must have free particles, and it can happen only in ionisied gas.
As Potential energy =mgh
m= 0.95kg
h=3 meter
g = 9.8 m/sec^2. ( acceleration due to gravity)
So P.E =(0.95)(9.8)(3)kgm^2/s^2
P.E =27.93 joules
Answer:
The fraction fraction of the final energy is stored in an initially uncharged capacitor after it has been charging for 3.0 time constants is

Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The time constant 
The potential across the capacitor can be mathematically represented as

Where
is the voltage of the capacitor when it is fully charged
So at


Generally energy stored in a capacitor is mathematically represented as

In this equation the energy stored is directly proportional to the the square of the potential across the capacitor
Now since capacitance is constant at
The energy stored can be evaluated at as


Hence the fraction of the energy stored in an initially uncharged capacitor is
