(b) The energy density of parallel plate capacitor is given by $U = \frac{1}{2}{\varepsilon _0}{E^2} = \frac{1}{2}{\varepsilon _0}{\left( {\frac{V}{d}} \right)^2}$
$ = \frac{1}{2} \times 8.85 \times {10^{ - 12}}\,{C^2}/N{m^2} \times {\left( {\frac{{300\,volt}}{{2 \times {{10}^{ - 3}}\,m}}} \right)^2}$$ = 0.1\,J/{m^3}$

    Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.

    Assertion $A$: The potential ( $V$ ) at any axial point, at $2 \mathrm{~m}$ distance ( $r$ ) from the centre of the dipole of dipole moment vector $\vec{P}$ of magnitude, $4 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{C} \mathrm{m}$, is $\pm 9 \times 10^3 \mathrm{~V}$.

    (Take $\frac{1}{4 \pi \in_0}=9 \times 10^9 \mathrm{Sl}$ units)

    Reason $R$: $V= \pm \frac{2 P}{4 \pi \in_0 r^2}$, where $r$ is the distance of any axial point, situated at $2 \mathrm{~m}$ from the centre of the dipole.

    In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
