2 15  ENERGY STORED IN A CAPACITOR
A capacitor, as we have seen above, is a system of two conductors with
charge Q and –Q To determine the energy stored in this configuration,
consider initially two uncharged conductors 1 and 2 Imagine next a
process of transferring charge from conductor 2 to conductor 1 bit by
