A car battery has gone dead and it needs to be replaced with a large capacitor. The old car battery is 12 volts and has a charge capacity of l144000 Coulombs. What should the capacitance of the capacitor be so that a 12-volt difference across the plates will result in the same energy as the battery? O A) 24000 Farads O B) 29100 Farads O C) 31400 Farads D) 23600 Farads O E) 27600 Farads
