MCQ
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 
  • A
    ${\varepsilon _0}EAd$
  • B
    $\;\frac{1}{2}{\varepsilon _0}\frac{{{E^2}}}{{Ad}}$
  • $\;\frac{1}{2}\;{\varepsilon _0}{E^2}Ad$
  • D
    $\;{\varepsilon _0}\frac{{{E^2}}}{{Ad}}$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$\;\frac{1}{2}\;{\varepsilon _0}{E^2}Ad$
c
Potential difference the between plates

$V=Ed$

Parallel Plate Capacitor -

$C=\frac{\varepsilon_0A}{d}$

Energy

$U=\frac{1}{2}CV^2$

$U=\frac{1}{2}\;{\varepsilon _0}{E^2}Ad$
