Energy stored in between the plates of parallel plate capacitor of area AA, separated by distance dd is

Options

  1. A12ε0E2Ad\frac{1}{2} \varepsilon_0 E^2 A d
  2. B12ε0E2Ad\frac{1}{2} \varepsilon_0 E^2 \frac{A}{d}
  3. C12ε0dE2A\frac{1}{2} \varepsilon_0 \frac{d}{E^2 A}
  4. D12Adε0E2\frac{1}{2} \frac{A d}{\varepsilon_0 E^2}

Correct answer

A. 12ε0E2Ad\frac{1}{2} \varepsilon_0 E^2 A d

Step-by-step solution

Energy stored in capacitor of capacitance CC with voltage VV is, U=12CV2U=\frac{1}{2} C V^2 but C=ε0Ad,V=EdC=\frac{\varepsilon_0 A}{d}, V=E d where AA is the area of capacitor plate and dd is the distance of separation and EE is the electric field. \therefore \quad U=12ε0Ad\frac{1}{2} \frac{\varepsilon_0 A}{d}E^2 d²=\frac{1}{2} \varepsilon_0 E² A d
