A voltage of 11 V is placed on a capacitor with C 113 pF pi
A voltage of 11 V is placed on a capacitor with C = 113 pF (picofarads).
(a) What is the charge on the capacitor?
1.243e-9 C
(b) How much energy is stored in the capacitor?
????
Solution
Given that V = 11 V
and C = 113 pF
a) charge is Q = C*V = 11*113*10^-12 = 1.243*10^-9 C
b) energy stored is U = 0.5*C*V^2 = 0.5*113*10^-12*11^2 = 6.84*10^-9 J
