Three capacitors of capacitance 2μF, 4μFand 8μF are connected in parallel and a P.D of 6V is maintained across each capacitor, the total energy stored is

A
2.52 x 10-6J
B
6.90 x 10-6J
C
2.52 x 10-4J
D
6.90 x 10-4J
Ask EduPadi AI...
Correct Option: C

C = C1 + C2 + C3

= 2 + 4 + 8 = 14μF

V = 6V

Energy = 1/2CV2
1/2 x 14 x 10-6 x 62

= 2.52 x 10-4 J
