Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(1.8 \times 10^3 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{m}^3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} \text { Energy density } & =\frac{1}{2} \varepsilon_0 E^2 \\ & =\frac{1}{2} \varepsilon_0\left(\frac{V}{d}\right)^2 \\ & =\frac{1}{2}\left(8.85 \times 10^{-12}\right)\left(\frac{20}{10^{-6}}\right)^2 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{m}^3 \\ & \simeq 1.8 \times 10^3 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{m}^3\end{aligned}\)
