    1) A capacitor with a capacitance of 100 μF is charged to 1000 V. The energy stored is calculated to be 50 J. 2) A second capacitor with a capacitance of 300 pF is charged to 1000 V. The charge stored is calculated to be 3.0 x 10^7 C. 3) Two capacitors, one with 1.2 μF capacitance and the other with 6 pF capacitance, are connected in parallel. The equivalent capacitance and stored energy are calculated.
