2. Electric Potential and Capacitance
medium
A parallel plate capacitor has a uniform electric field ' $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}}$ ' in the space between the plates. If the distance between the plates is ' $\mathrm{d}$ ' and the area of each plate is ' $A$ ', the energy stored in the capacitor is : $\left(\varepsilon_{0}=\right.$ permittivity of free space)
A
$\frac{1}{2} \varepsilon_{0} \mathrm{E}^{2}$
B
$\varepsilon_{0} \mathrm{EAd}$
C
$\frac{1}{2} \varepsilon_{0} E^{2} \mathrm{Ad}$
D
$\frac{\mathrm{E}^{2} \mathrm{Ad}}{\varepsilon_{0}}$
(NEET-2021)
Solution
Energy $=$ Energy density $\times$ volume
$=\frac{1}{2} \varepsilon_{0} E^{2} A d$
