Calculate the energy stored in a 20\(\mu F\) capacitor. If the p.d between the plates is 40V

A.

3.2 x 10-2J

B.

1.6 x 10-2J

C.

8.0 x 10-4J

D.

4.0 x 10-4J

Correct answer is B

W = \(\frac{cv^2}{2} = \frac{20 \times 10^{-6} \times 40^{2}}{2}\)

= 1.6 x 10-2J

A.

14.4 naira

B.

12.5 naira

C.

7.2 naira

D.

2.0 naira

Correct answer is C
