A capacitor is charged with 9.6 nC and has a 120 V potential difference between its terminals. Compute its capacitance and the energy stored in it
Added by Lee X.
Step 1
You are given the charge (Q) on the capacitor, which is 9.6 nC (nanocoulombs), and the potential difference (V) across the capacitor, which is 120 V. You need to find the capacitance (C) of the capacitor and the energy (U) stored in it. Show more…

A capacitor of $1 \mu \mathrm{F}$ is fully charged by connecting it to a battery of $12 \mathrm{~V}$ and then disconnected. Now the capacitor is connected to an uncharged capacitor of capacitance $C$ and the potential difference across it is found to be $4 \mathrm{~V}$. Find $C$ and also the energy stored in the second capacitor.
