Answer

The maximum energy stored on the capacitor is $~~6.88\times 10^{-9}~J$

Work Step by Step

We can find the maximum charge $Q$ on the capacitor: $Q = V~C = (0.250~V)(220\times 10^{-9}~F) = 55.0~nC$ We can find the maximum energy stored on the capacitor: $U_E = \frac{Q^2}{2C}$ $U_E = \frac{(55.0\times 10^{-9}~C)^2}{(2)(220\times 10^{-9}~F)}$ $U_E = 6.88\times 10^{-9}~J$ The maximum energy stored on the capacitor is $~~6.88\times 10^{-9}~J$
