Describe an experiment that would allow you to measure the energy stored in a capacitor. Would increasing the charge on the capacitor's plates increase or decrease the energy it stores? Explain.
For fun, you decide to build a circuit, but you have an unknown capacitor laying around. To measure it, you place it in series with a 7.30 μF capacitor you have and connect them to a 6.00 V battery. Using your trusty voltmeter, you measure 4.20 V across the unknown capacitor. What is its capacitance?
