    What Is the Correct Calculation of Energy Density in a Charged Capacitor?

    Okay so how do I find the area in order to find volume.

    Calculating Change in Electric Potential Energy

    Would theta be 0 degree or 6.41 degree? I got 6.41 by (45/20)^2+(30/5)^2=c^2 => sqrt(41.0625)=>6.41 degree. Can I do that? To plug into that equation it would be (.6825*10^-3)*.15*6.41=10.158 mJ

    What Is the Correct Calculation of Energy Density in a Charged Capacitor?

    Yes, I believe that is (microfarad); it doesn't say specifically. I was very unsure on that step and wasn't quite sure how to compute the volume. Do I even to find the volume?

    What Is the Correct Calculation of Energy Density in a Charged Capacitor?

    Homework Statement A parallel-plate capacitor with C = 16 mu or micro FF is charged so as to contain 1.7 J of energy. If the capacitor has a vacuum between plates that are spaced by 0.35 mm, what is the energy density (the energy per unit volume)? I am a little lost of this problem and...

    Charge & Energy Stored in Charged Capacitor (14V, 113pF)

    Homework Statement A voltage of 14 V is placed on a capacitor with C = 113 pF (picofarads). (a) What is the charge on the capacitor? (b) How much energy is stored in the capacitor? I believe I have the correct equation but I'm not sure about the final answer because of the picofarads...
