Question

The energy stored in a condenser is in the form of

• A. kinetic energy
• B. potential energy
• C. elastic energy
• D. magnetic energy

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

potential energy

Answer 2

When a conductor of capacitance $C$ is given a charge $q$, it acquires a potential given by.
$V=\frac{q}{C}$
The work done in charging the conductor is stored as potential energy in the electric field in the vicinity of the conductor
