    A capacitor of capacitance \[6\,\,\mu F\] charged up to 100 V. The energy stored in the capacitor is: [BHU M-2003]

    A)  \[0.6\,\,J\]                                        

    B)  \[0.06\,\,J\]

    C)  \[0.03\,\,J\]                                      

    D)  \[0.3\,\,J\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                     The total work done in charging the capacitor \[\left( C \right)\] from the uncharged state to the final charge \[q\] will be equal to energy stored in the capacitor, given by \[U=\frac{1}{2}\frac{{{q}^{2}}}{C}=\frac{1}{2}C{{V}^{2}}\] Where \[q=CV\] and \[V\] is potential difference. Given,\[C=6\times {{10}^{-6}}\,\,F,\,V=100\] volt                 \[\therefore \]                  \[U=\frac{1}{2}\times 6\times {{10}^{-6}}\times {{\left( 100 \right)}^{2}}\]                                 \[=3\times {{10}^{-2}}\,\,J\]                                 \[U=0.03\,\,J\] Note: This energy resides in the electric field created between the plates of the charged capacitor.
