Kimberly · Answer 1

Frequency = 1 / (2π√LC)

Frequency = 1 / (2π · 2.8 x 10⁻⁴ · C)

Frequency = 1 / (1.759 x 10⁻³ · C)

Frequency = (568.4 / C) Hz.

Energy stored in a capacitor = 1/2 C V²

Energy = 1/2 C · 2.25 x 10⁴

Energy = (11,250 · C) Joules

Neither of the answers can be completely specified without knowing the value of the capacitor.
