Question 1.
What is the formula for the energy stored in a capacitor?
Show hintHide hint
Think about the charge and voltage relationship.
Question 2.
What units define capacitance?
Show hintHide hint
Consider current and voltage.
3Question 3.
What is the relationship between charge, voltage, and energy in capacitors?
- W = 1/2 QV
- W = C²V
- W = QV²
Show hintHide hint
Look at the basic energy formula.
4Question 4.
True or False: The energy stored in a capacitor decreases when voltage increases.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider how voltage influences energy in formulas.
Question 5.
Consider a capacitor with a capacitance of 22μF charged to 12V. If the voltage is doubled, what happens to the stored energy?
Show hintHide hint
Follow the energy formula carefully.
Question 6.
A capacitor charged to 20V is disconnected from a battery and then connected to an uncharged capacitor of same capacitance. What will be the final voltage?
Show hintHide hint
Remember charge conservation and capacitance properties.
