Call your doctor at once if you have a serious side effect such as: 1  feeling short of breath, even with mild exertion; 2  swelling of your ankles or feet; 3  slow or uneven heartbeats; or. 4  numbness or cold feeling in your hands and feet.
For the most part, I understand the derivation; however, at the end of the derivation, the author adds one little condition: Where is the energy in a parallel plate capacitor actually stored? Well, if we think about it, the only place it could be stored is in the electric field generated between the plates..
Of course, once we have transferred some charge, an electric field is set up between the plates which opposes any further charge transfer. In order to fully charge the capacitor, we must do work against this field, and this work becomes energy stored in the capacitor. Let us calculate this energy.
