Energy Stored in a Capacitor
 

Energy Stored in a Capacitor problem 6


Two capacitors of capacitances and are connected in series with a battery of electromotive force (e.m.f.) , as shown in the figure below.




  • Calculate the combined capacitance of the capacitors.


  • Use your answer in (a) to determine, for the capacitor of capacitance ,


    • the charge on one plate of the capacitor,


    • the energy stored in the capacitor.
