The energy stored in a capacitor of capacitance... - JAMB Physics 2002 Question
The energy stored in a capacitor of capacitance 10μF carrying a charge of 100μC
A
5 x 104 J
B
4 x 102 J
C
4 x 10-3 J
D
5 x 10-4 J
correct option: d
The energy stored in a given capacitor is given by
E = 1/2 CV2 = 1/2 QV = 1/2Q2/C
Where C = the capacitance of the capacitor
Q = charge carried by the capacitor
V = p.d across the plates of the capacitor thus from the data given, C = 10μF
= 10 x 10-6F
Q = 100μc = 100 x 10-6C
∴ Energy stored = 1/2 Q2/C
1/2 10-3 5.0 x 10-4
E = 1/2 CV2 = 1/2 QV = 1/2Q2/C
Where C = the capacitance of the capacitor
Q = charge carried by the capacitor
V = p.d across the plates of the capacitor thus from the data given, C = 10μF
= 10 x 10-6F
Q = 100μc = 100 x 10-6C
∴ Energy stored = 1/2 Q2/C
