A parallel plate air capacitor has a uniform electric field E in the space between the plates. Area of each plate is A and the distance between the plates is d . The energy stored in the capacitor is [ ₀= . permittivity of free space ]
Options
- A2 ₀ E A d
- B₀ E^2 2 A d
- C1 2 ₀ E^2 A d
- DE^2 A d 2 ₀
Correct answer
C. 1 2 ₀ E^2 A d
Step-by-step solution
The energy stored in the capacitor is U= 1 2 C V^2= 1 2 ( ₀ A d )(E d)^2
