In an electric eel, the organ for storing electrical energy is a kind of battery of capacitors charged

In an electric eel, the organ for storing electrical energy is a kind of battery of capacitors charged up to a potential of 800 V. The discharge power is 1 kWm. Considering the discharge time equal to 10 (* – 4 degrees) seconds, determine the capacity of this capacitor bank.

Initial data: φ (potential to which the eel organ is charged to accumulate electrical energy) = 800 V = U (voltage); P (discharge power) = 1 kW (1 * 10 ^ 3 W); t (discharge time) = 10 ^ -4 s.

The capacity of a kind of capacitor bank is determined by the formula: C = q / U = I * t / U = (P / U) * t / U = P * t / U ^ 2.

Calculation: C = 1 * 10 ^ 3 * 10 ^ -4 / 800 ^ 2 = 156.25 * 10 ^ -9 F = 156.25 nF.

Answer: The capacity of a kind of capacitor bank is 156.25 nF.
