A capacitor can't deliver electrical energy 'constantly'. Much like a battery, electrical energy can be stored in it, and then delivered later. The capacitor only stores some definite amount of energy ... equal to 1/2 of its capacitance multiplied by the square of the voltage to which it's charged ... and later, after it has delivered that amount of energy, it delivers no more without being charged again.
e=mc2 Well - that IS one formula for energy. Another would be e = W = F∙d where e is energy W is work F is force d is distance Generally in thermodynamics we concern ourselves with changes in energy with work being done on or by a system and heat being added to or removed from it.
Two functions - it provides electrical insulation, and it increases the capacitance, i.e., the amount of charge - and therefore also the amount of energy - that can be stored at a given voltage.
In short, no. Electrical energy is actually a form of Kinetic energy (energy in motion).Stored energy is potential energy and is defined as an energy stored in objects by the application of a force. Examples of this might be compressed springs, or stretched rubber bands. Until acted upon or "unleashed", they will not exert their energy.
The energy stored in a capacitor is almost entirely in the electric field produced between the plates. It takes energy from a battery or some other power source to move electrons to one of the plates and away from the other. This makes one plate positively charged and the other negatively charged. Electric field is produced in proportion to the charge per unit area on a plate, and this electric field is said to originate on positive charges and terminate on negative charges. Energy stored in electric fields is proportional to the square of the electric field strength and the volume of the field. The energy is transferred from the power source to the electric field through the rearrangement of electrical charges.
The initial condition of a capacitor that has no energy stored is zero volts. The initial condition of an inductor that has no energy stored is zero amperes.
the formula for energy stored in a capacitor is (1/2)*cv^2 given v=20v, c =10*10^-6 f by using this information you can easily calculate the energy
(a) what is the total capacitance of this arrangement (B) the charge stored on each capacitor (C) the voltage across the 50 micro farad capacitor and the energy stored in it. 20v and 20+30+50 micro farad
a capacitor bank
It flows out of the capacitor into the external circuit
The capacitor is an electronic device. Capacitance is the energy stored within this device.
We used capacitor in UM66 because capacitors are used to store the energy, and hence when we press the switch it will charged the capacitor and energy stored in it, and after releasing the switch it releases the energy. So, we can use the capacitor to store the energy.
Only in that it can store energy. However, the energy stored in a capacitor is usually very small, compared to a battery; and it can only hold the energy for a short time.

ideally there will not be any resistance to the capacitor,so at this condition it should not not discharge the stored energy. but practically small resistance will be there in the capacitor so the energy stored by the capacitor will be discharged through resistance.
Energy stored in the capacitor does not enter it through the connecting wire through the space around the wires and plates of capacitor.
You use a capacitor to store electrostatic energy. You use an inductor to store electromagnetic energy. You use a resistor to dissipate electrical energy.
