Question

You recently purchased a used camera with an electric flash. After taking a roll of
pictures you are disappointed that the flash isn

Answer 1

eenrgy Stored in the Capacitors is given by U = 0.5 CV^2

where V is Pot diff

C is Capacitance

also

eenrgy is given by U = 0.5 Q^2/C

where Q is charge

when Different Capacitore were used, Net Capacitamce depends on th type of Combinations of Capacitors

as such

if C1 and C2 are the individual capacitor that re connected in series,

then their resultant capaciatnce 1/Cnet = 1/C1+1/C2 or Cnet   = C1C2/(C1+C2)

if c1 and C2 are connected in parallel, then their effective capacitancen is Cnet = C1+C2

also in sereis combination same amount of charge passes through each of the capacitiors

and in parallel combination, same PD (voltage) exists across each of the capacitor
