1. Electric Charges and Fields
normal
A parallel plate condenser has a uniform electric field $E(V/m)$ in the space between the plates. If the distance between the plates is $d(m)$ and area of each plate is $A(m^2)$, then the energy (joules) stored in the condenser is
A
${E^2}\,Ad/{ \in _0}$
B
$\frac{1}{2}{ \in _0}\,{E^2}$
C
${ \in _0}\,EAd$
D
$\frac{1}{2}{ \in _0}\,{E^2}\,Ad$
Solution
$Energy = \frac{1}{2}C{V^2} = \frac{1}{2}\left( {\frac{{A\,{ \in _0}}}{d}} \right){\left( {Ed} \right)^2} = \frac{1}{2}{ \in _0}{E^2}Ad$
