Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

The potential energy stored in a capacitor is given by which of the following formulas? (2020)
  • Step 1: Understand that a capacitor stores electrical energy.
  • Step 2: Know that the potential energy stored in a capacitor is represented by the symbol U.
  • Step 3: Identify the variables involved: C is the capacitance (how much charge it can store) and V is the voltage (electric potential difference).
  • Step 4: Learn the formula for potential energy in a capacitor: U = 1/2 CV^2.
  • Step 5: Remember that this formula shows that the energy stored depends on both the capacitance and the square of the voltage.
