Answer:

0.004394Joules

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete. Find the complete question in the attachment below;

Energy stored in a capacitor = 1/2CV² where;

C is the capacitance of the capacitor

V is the potential difference across the plates

Given parameters

C = 13.0μF = 13 * 10⁻⁶F

V = 26.0V

Required

Energy stored in the capacitor

Substituting the values into the equation given;

E = 1/2 * 13 * 10⁻⁶ * 26²

E = 1/2 * 13 * 10⁻⁶ * 676

E = 1/2* 8788 * 10⁻⁶

E = 4394 * 10⁻⁶

Hence the Energy stored in the capacitor in Joules is 0.004394Joules
