IB Physics SL B.5.6 Electrical energy transfer
Practise calculating energy transferred in capacitor circuits and describing where stored energy goes when a capacitor discharges through a component.
How this is tested
- calculate energy transferred by finding the change in capacitor energy before and after switching
- explain that, on discharge, the capacitor’s stored energy is delivered to the resistor or device
