Energy stored in a capacitor
E = ½·C·V². Enter two of the three values and choose which one to solve for: energy, charge voltage or capacitance.
- Energy
- 50 J
- Stored charge (Q = C·V)
- 100 mC
This is the energy stored in the capacitor. What reaches the load (a flashlamp, for example) is lower because of circuit losses.
