Which of the following expression correctly represents electrostatic energy stored in the electric field of a similar charged disk of radius $R$?
  • A$U = \frac{8}{3}\pi {\sigma ^2}{R^3}$
  • B$U = \frac{4}{3}\pi {\sigma ^2}{R^3}$
  • C$U = \frac{2}{3}\pi {\sigma ^2}{R^3}$
  • D
    None of these.
