What is the total amount of charge and energy, respectively, that the capacitor will store if it is connected to the battery on the railcar?.

Respuesta :

The total amount of charge and energy will be 1.20 C and 7.20 J respectively

What is a capacitor?

A capacitor is a device that can store electrical energy. It is a two-conductor configuration separated by an insulating medium that carries charges of equal size and opposite sign.

An electric insulator or vacuum, such as glass, paper, air, or a semiconductor termed a dielectric, can be used as the non-conductive zone.

Given data;

Voltage,V= 12V

Capicitance,C=100mF = 100 × 10⁻³ F

The total amount of charge is;

Q=CV

Q=100 × 10⁻³ ×  12 V

Q=1.20 C

The energy stored by the capacitor;

[tex]\rm U = \frac{1}{2}CV^2 \\\\ \rm U = \frac{1}{2}\times 100 \times 10^{-3} \times (12 \ V)^2 \\\\ U= 7.20 \ J[/tex]

The energy stored by a capacitor will be 7.20 J.

Hence, the total amount of charge and energy will be 1.20 C and 7.20 J respectively
