Question 8 of 10
Calculate the electric potential energy in a capacitor that stores 1.0 x 10-10 C
of charge at 100.0 V. Use PE =
2

Respuesta :

The electric potential energy in a capacitor will be 5 × 10 ⁻⁹ J.

What is a capacitor?

A capacitor is a device that can store electrical energy. It is a two-conductor configuration separated by an insulating medium that carries charges of equal size and opposite sign.

An electric insulator or vacuum, such as glass, paper, air, or a semiconductor termed a dielectric, can be used as the non-conductive zone.

The  electric potential energy in a capacitor is found as;

[tex]\rm E = \frac{1}{2} QV[/tex]

[tex]\rm E = \frac{1}{2}\times 1.0 \times 10^{-10} \ C \times 100 \ V \\\\ E= 5 \times 10^{-9} \ J[/tex]

Hence the electric potential energy in a capacitor will be 5 × 10 ⁻⁹ J.
