Energy Stored & Force between Plates

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

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. Energy density u=12ε0E2u = \frac{1}{2}\varepsilon_0 E^2.
  2. Volume between plates =Ad= Ad, so U=12ε0E2AdU = \frac{1}{2}\varepsilon_0 E^2 Ad.
  3. So the answer is (c) 12ε0E2Ad\frac{1}{2}\varepsilon_0 E^2 Ad.
