The energy stored in a capacitor can be calculated using the formula E = 0.5 * C * V^2, where E is the stored energy, C is the capacitance, and V is the voltage across the capacitor. To convert the stored energy in a capacitor to watt-hours, divide the energy (in joules) by 3600.
This energy is stored in the electric field. A capacitor. =. = x 10^ F. which is charged to voltage V= V. will have charge Q = x10^ C. and will have stored energy E = x10^ J.
