I have a question that has confused me a little,
A 10 micro-farad capacitor is fully charged by a 24v battery.
The question asks how much charge is stored and how much energy would be stored.
I think i have found the answer to these using,
Q=CV and E = 1/2 CV^2 respectively
but then it goes on to ask,
how much energy would be required from the battery to charge the battery to 24v.
Explain why the answers are different
