NEET · Physics · STD 12 - 2. Electric potential and capacitance

A parallel plate capacitor has a uniform electric field ' \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}}\) ' in the space between the plates. If the distance between the plates is ' \(\mathrm{d}\) ' and the area of each plate is ' \(A\) ', the energy stored in the capacitor is : \(\left(\varepsilon_{0}=\right.\) permittivity of free space)

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