The correct Answer is:
To find the energy stored in a capacitor, we can use the formula: \[ E = \frac{1}{2} C V^2 \] where: - \(E\) is the energy stored in joules, - \(C\) is the capacitance in farads, - \(V\) is the voltage in volts. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the given values**: - Capacitance, \(C = 2 \, \mu F = 2 \times 10^{-6} \, F\) - Voltage, \(V = 50 \, V\) 2. **Substitute the values into the energy formula**: \[ E = \frac{1}{2} \times (2 \times 10^{-6}) \times (50)^2 \] 3. **Calculate \(V^2\)**: \[ V^2 = 50^2 = 2500 \] 4. **Substitute \(V^2\) back into the energy equation**: \[ E = \frac{1}{2} \times (2 \times 10^{-6}) \times 2500 \] 5. **Simplify the equation**: \[ E = \frac{1}{2} \times 2 \times 2500 \times 10^{-6} \] \[ E = 2500 \times 10^{-6} \, J \] 6. **Convert to a more standard form**: \[ E = 2.5 \times 10^{-3} \, J = 0.0025 \, J \] ### Final Answer: The energy stored in the capacitor is \(0.0025 \, J\) or \(2.5 \, mJ\).
