Respuesta :
The potential difference across the capacitor is 5 × 10∧4 volts and the energy stored in it is 1. 25 Joules
What is the energy in a capacitor?
The energy stored in a capacitor is an electrostatic potential energy.
It is related to the charge(Q) and voltage (V) between the capacitor plates.
It is represented as 'U'.
How to determine the potential difference
Formula:
Potential difference, V is the ratio of the charge to the capacitance of a capacitor.
It is calculated using:
V = Q ÷ C
Where Q = charge 5 × 10∧-5C and C = capacitance 10∧-9
Substitute the values into the equation
Potential difference, V = 5 × 10∧-5 ÷ 10∧-9 = 5 × 10∧4 volts
How to determine the energy stored
Formula:
Energy, U = 1 ÷ 2 (QV)
Where Q= charge and V = potential difference across the capacitor
Energy, U = 1 ÷ 2 ( 5 × 10∧-5 × 5 × 10∧4)
= 0.5 × 25 × 10∧-1
= 0.5 × 2.5
= 1. 25 Joules
Therefore, the potential difference across the capacitor is 5 × 10∧4 volts and the energy stored in it is 1. 25 Joules
