ENERGY STORED IN A CAPACITOR

DropDown Activity

In transferring positive charge from one conductor to another conductor, work will be done externally,

Since electrostatic force is conservative, this work to a capacitor is stored in the form of potential energy of the system.

When the capacitor to , this stored-up energy is released

Energy density of a capacitor, is the energy stored per unit volume of space,
