Energy Stored in Capacitor given Capacitance and Voltage Calculator

Calculate Energy Stored in Capacitor





Formula

The formula to calculate the energy stored in a capacitor is:

\[ U = \frac{1}{2} C V_{\text{capacitor}}^2 \]

Where:

Definition

Energy stored in a capacitor is the energy that is stored in a capacitor, which is a device that stores electric energy in an electric field.

Capacitance is the ability of a system to store electric charge, typically measured in farads, and is a crucial concept in electrostatics.

Voltage in a capacitor is the electric potential difference across the plates of a capacitor, measured in volts, and is a fundamental concept in electrostatics.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ U = \frac{1}{2} \cdot 0.011 \cdot 27.3^2 = 4.099095 \text{ J} \]

The energy stored is 4.099095 Joules.
