Equivalent capacitance

C_{e q} = C

Charge on capacitor between the terminals

a

and

b, \frac{Q}{2} = \frac{C V}{2}

Energy stored in that capacitor
Solution Image

= \frac{1 ( \frac{Q}{2} ) ^{2}}{2 C} = \frac{Q ^{2}}{8 C} = \frac{C ^{2} V ^{2}}{8 C} = \frac{C V ^{2}}{8}

Given:

C = 1 μ F, V = 10 V

= \frac{( 1 \times 1 0 ^{- 6} ) \times 1 0 ^{2}}{8} = \frac{100}{8} \times 1 0^{- 6} = 12.5 μ J
