Electrostatic Potential And Capacitance

Question
CBSEENPH12037353

A capacitor is charged through a potential difference of 200 V, when 0.1 C charge is stored in it. How much energy will it release, when it is discharged?

Solution

Given, 
Potential difference across the capacitor-V = 200 V
charge stored in the capacitor-q = 0.1 C

Energy released on discharging = energy stored on charging = 12qV 
            =12×0.1×200 = 10 J.
