    A \[15pF\] capacitor is connected to a \[60\text{ }V\] battery. How much electrostatic energy is stored?

    A)  \[2.77\times {{10}^{-8}}\,J\]      

    B)  \[1.77\times {{10}^{-8}}\,J\]

    C)  \[2.35\times {{10}^{-8}}\,J\]      

    D)  \[1.35\times {{10}^{-8}}\,J\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Electrostatic energy \[U=\frac{1}{2}C{{V}^{2}}\] \[=\frac{1}{2}(15\times {{10}^{-12}})\times {{(60)}^{2}}\] \[=\frac{1}{2}\times 15\times 36\times {{10}^{-12}}\times {{10}^{2}}\] \[=270\times {{10}^{-10}}\] \[=2.70\times {{10}^{-8}}\,J\]
