Energy Stored & Force between Plates

The energy required to charge a parallel plate condenser of plate separation dd and plate area of cross-section AA such that the uniform electric field between the plates is EE, is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. Energy density in the field: u=12ε0E2u = \frac{1}{2}\varepsilon_0 E^2.
  2. Volume between the plates =Ad= Ad, so U=u×AdU = u \times Ad.
  3. So the answer is (b) 12ε0E2Ad\frac{1}{2}\varepsilon_0 E^2 Ad.
