Energy Stored in Capacitor Calculator & Formula

Energy stored in a capacitor is electrical potential energy held in the electric field between its plates. Energy stored in a capacitor represents the energy held in an electric field. This concept is frequently tested in GATE numericals and helps students understand energy conservation in electrical systems.

Energy Stored in a capacitor Calculator

EXAMPLE:

INPUTS:

• Capacitor value = 10 uF

• Voltage = 50 V

• OUTPUT:

• Stored Energy (W) = 0.0125 J

Energy Stored in a capacitor Formula

• This energy comes from the work done moving charge and can be quickly released, making capacitors useful for filtering, timing, and power delivery.

• In the equation, ‘W’ is energy in Joules, ‘C’is capacitance in farads, ‘V’ is in volts.

• It can also be represented by W = (1/2). Q. V Where, ‘Q’ is charge equal to ‘C’ multiplied by ‘V’

Summary : By automating calculations, this calculator helps students avoid arithmetic errors and focus on mastering the physics behind energy storage.
