Three capacitors of capacitance C(1)= 3m...

Three capacitors of capacitance `C_(1)= 3mu f, C_(2)= 6mu f and C_(3)= 10mu f`, are connected to a 10V battery as shown in Figure 3 below

Calculate:
Electrostatic potential energy stored in the system

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Electrostatic potential energy (U) stored in the system is
`U= (1)/(2) CV^(2)= (1)/(2) xx 12mu F xx (10V)^(2)`= 600`mu J`
`=6 xx 10^(-4)J`
