The question I have is a parallel plate capacitor holds a charge of 1200 joules on each plate. It has a potential difference of 110 volts applied to it what is the capacitance of the capacitor in farads
total energy stored in a capacitor is split between the 2 plates. So say the capacitor stores 2 joules of energy does each plate hold 1 joule of charge.
I guess this is a simple question and I can't find clarification on it any where
If the total charge on each plate of a parallel plate capacitor is 1200 joules then is the total energy stored in that capacitor 2400 joules. Lol might seem dumb but I just want to make sure this was correct...
