Capacitor Energy Using Capacitance and Voltage

The energy stored in a capacitor depends on the charge and voltage difference across the capacitor.

The energy equals half the capacitance times the square of the voltage.

Formula

QuantityVariable["E", "Energy"] == (QuantityVariable["C", "ElectricCapacitance"]*QuantityVariable["V", "ElectricPotential"]^2)/2
