Answer the following question: Be sure to show all your work. Include formulae and units! EVERY TIME! Don’t forget to give relevant diagram.

Lasers are utilized to try to produce controlled fusion reactions that might supply large amounts of electrical energy. The lasers need brief pulses of energy that are stored in large rooms filled by capacitors. One such room has a capacitance of 61 x 10^-3 F charged to a potential difference of 10.0 kV.

1. Discover the energy stored in the capacitors?

2. The capacitors are discharged in 10 ns (1.0 x 10^-8 s). What power is produced?

3. If the capacitors are charged with a generator with a power capacity of 1.0 kW, how many seconds will be needed to charge the capacitors?
