Question

An air filled 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 ( ₀= . permittivity of free space)

Quantrex Academy · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: A. 1 2 ₀ E ² Ad

Energy per unit volume in an electric field is U= 1 2 _ o E² Volume of the space between the plates is = Ad Energy stored in the electric field = 1 2 ₀ E² Ad
