The discussion revolves around finding the energy stored in a capacitor in steady state within a circuit. Participants are exploring the relationship between charge, capacitance, and energy storage in capacitors.
Some participants have provided guidance by suggesting that the original poster needs to show their work for better assistance. There is an ongoing exploration of different expressions for energy and the implications of using charge versus voltage in calculations.
Participants note that the charge on the capacitor in steady state is known, yet there is uncertainty about why the initial method yields incorrect results. There is an emphasis on the need for clarity in the calculations presented.
What is the expression for energy in terms of C and V? In steady state, voltage and capacitance will be known to you.le@rner said:

You need to show your work. We can't say much about what you did wrong if we don't know what you did.le@rner said:
