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
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.
