 * Dear NebY,
 * I saw on many pages:
 * E=(C.U^2)/2
 * so
 * 2J/V^2
 * say et cetera:

 * That is a very confused response at answers.com; I won't even try to explain it. Instead, note the straightforward answer below it. Alternatively, work through the equalities at Farad for yourself from left to right, confirm that
 * $$\text{F} = \dfrac{\text{A} {\cdot} \text{s}}{\text{V}} = \dfrac{\text{W} {\cdot} \text{s}} {{\text{V}^2} }$$
 * and then consider that J = W⋅s . NebY (talk) 20:00, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Dear NebY,
 * Well, I found out there are two contradictory equations commonly used:
 * E=CU^2/2 - as energy in a capacitor with two plates, which seems to be a special case, as a capacitor uses only a half of the real energy which is on it - as I understand the topic.
 * and
 * E=CU^2 as energy of a single charge, or of a charge flowing through a wire.
 * These equations leads to contradictory definitions of units. This confusion puzzles more people.
 * I had to find out what was the correct answer.

 * I will look for more elaborate explanation,
 * anyway sorry for the confusion. :-)
