Question

A 12 pF capacitor is connected to a 50V battery. How much electrostatic energy is stored in the capacitor?

Answer 1

Capacitor of the capacitance, C = 12 pF = 12 × 10⁻¹² F

Potential difference, V = 50 V

Electrostatic energy stored in the capacitor is given by the relation,

Therefore, the electrostatic energy stored in the capacitor is
