Answer:

Energy stored in the capacitor is 0.0018 joules.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Capacitance of the capacitor,
C=25\ \mu F=25* 10^(-6)\ F

Voltage of the battery, V = 12 volt

We have to find the energy stored in the capacitor. The energy stored inside the capacitor is given by :


E=(1)/(2)CV^2


E=(1)/(2)* 25* 10^(-6)\ F* (12\ V)^2

E = 0.0018 Joules

Hence, the energy stored in the capacitor is 0.0018 Joules.
