- (7) How much charge builds up on the capacitor if the potential drop between plates is 5V?
-
- Using the capacitance found in question 6, the charge can be calculated:
-
-
-
- Note that C is the symbol for the unit Coulombs, while C is the variable for capacitance.
-
- (8) How much potential energy is stored in the capacitor?
-
- Any of the three equations for potential energy can be used:
-
