Answer:
[tex]E=1/2*C*V^2=0.5*1.35*(53.9*10^3)^2=1.96*10^9J[/tex]
Explanation:
Electrical potential energy of a capacitor with capacitance, C, and Voltage, V, is:
[tex]E=1/2*C*V^2[/tex]
The original capacitor has a capacitance of 1.35F and a voltage of 53.9kV.
[tex]E=1/2*C*V^2=0.5*1.35*(53.9*10^3)^2=1.96*10^9J[/tex]
