																	How does a capacitor store electrical energy. 
																	Energy stored because there is charge separation. 
																	The energy stored in a capacitor is given by the equation u frac 1 2 cv 2. 
																	We must be careful when applying the equation for electrical potential energy δpe qδv to a capacitor remember that δpe is the potential energy of a charge q going through a voltage δv but the capacitor starts with zero voltage and gradually comes up to its. 
															
													
									
	
		
	
																	Energy stored in a capacitor is electrical potential energy and it is thus related to the charge q and voltage v on the capacitor. 
																	The effect of a capacitor is known as capacitance while some capacitance exists between any two electrical conductors in proximity in a circuit a capacitor is a component designed to add capacitance to a circuit the capacitor was originally known as a condenser. 
																	Capacitor has equal magnitude of ve and ve charge. 
																	Notes on capacitance of a capacitor. 
															
													
									
	
		
	
																	Let us look at an example to better understand how to calculate the energy stored in a capacitor. 
																	Capacitors are devices which store electrical energy in the form of electrical charge accumulated on their plates. 
																	A capacitor is a device that stores electrical energy in an electric field it is a passive electronic component with two terminals. 
																	Capacitors used for energy storage. 
															
													
									
	
		
	
																	When a capacitor is connected to a power source it accumulates energy which can be released when the capacitor is disconnected from the charging source and in this respect they are similar to batteries.
