SUMMARY
The formula W = 1/2 * C * V^2 is indeed correct for calculating energy stored in a capacitor, where W represents energy, C is capacitance, and V is voltage. This formula is derived from the principles of electrostatics and is widely accepted in physics. The discussion confirms the validity of this equation, particularly in the context of capacitor energy storage.
