The energy required to charge a parallel plate condenser of plate separation \(d\) and plate area of cross-section \(A\) such that the uniform electric field between the plates is \(E\), is

  1. A \(\frac{1}{2} \varepsilon_{0} E^{2} / A d\)
  2. B \(\varepsilon_{0} E^{2} / A d\)
  3. C \(\varepsilon_{0} E^{2} A d\)
  4. D \(\frac{1}{2} \varepsilon_{0} E^{2} A d\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\varepsilon_{0} E^{2} A d\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Energy given by the cell
\(E=C V^{2} \)
\( \text {Here, } C =\text { capacitance of condenser } \)
\( =\frac{A \varepsilon_{0}}{d}\)
\(V=\) potential difference across the plates \(=E d\)
\(
\text {Therefore, } E=\left(\frac{A \varepsilon_{0}}{d}\right)(E d)^{2}=A \varepsilon_{0} E^{2} d
\)
