Step 1
First, we need to calculate the energy stored in the capacitor. The energy stored in a capacitor is given by the formula: E = (1/2) * C * V^2 where E is the energy, C is the capacitance, and V is the potential difference across the capacitor. Given that the Show more…

A $0.22-\mu \mathrm{F}$ capacitor is charged by a $1.5-\mathrm{V}$ battery. After being charged, the capacitor is connected to a small electric motor. Assuming $100 \%$ efficiency, (a) to what height can the motor lift a $5.0-\mathrm{g}$ mass? (b) What initial voltage must the capacitor have if it is to lift a $5.0-\mathrm{g}$ mass through a height of $1.0 \mathrm{cm} ?$
