Energy Stored in a Capacitor
 

Energy Stored in a Capacitor problem 1


A capacitor is charged to a potential difference of and then connected in series with a switch, a resistor of resistance and a sensitive ammeter, as shown in the figure below.




The capacitor discharges one-half of its initial energy. Calculate the new potential difference across the capacitor.
