1. Electric Charges and Fields
normal
A parallel plate capacitor has a uniform electric field $E$ in the space between the plates. If the distance between the plates is $d$ and area of each plate is $A$ , the energy stored in the capacitor is
A
$\frac{1}{2}{\varepsilon _0}{E^2}Ad$
B
${\varepsilon _0}{E}Ad$
C
$\frac{1}{2}{\varepsilon _0}{E^2}$
D
${E^2}Ad/{\varepsilon _0}$
Solution
Energy density $=\frac{1}{2} \varepsilon_{0} \mathrm{E}^{2}$
So energy stored $=\frac{1}{2} \varepsilon_{0} \mathrm{E}^{2} \mathrm{Ad}$
