Electronic flash units for cameras contain a capacitor for storing the energy used to produce the flash. In one such unit, the f
lash lasts for a time interval of 1.45×10−3 s with an average light power output of 2.20×105 W .a) If the conversion of electrical energy to light has an efficiency of 90.0 \% (the rest of the energy goes to thermal energy), how much energy must be stored in the capacitor for one flash?
b) The capacitor has a potential difference between its plates of 125 V when the stored energy equals the value calculated in part A. What is the capacitance?
