A 250-V Potential Source (A Battery) Is Connected Across the Plates

question 76

Short Answer

A 25.0-V potential source (a battery) is connected across the plates of a 6.66-µF air-filled parallel-plate capacitor having plates that are 1.22 mm apart. What energy density does it produce between the plates? (ε₀ = 8.85 × 10^-12 C²/N ∙ m²)
