Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A balloon charged to several thousand volts indeed has a relatively small amount of both charge and energy. The high voltage indicates a high potential difference, but the actual amount of charge (and thus the energy stored, since energy is related to charge and voltage) can be quite small due to the balloon's limited capacity to store charge.
