Q116 / 200 · NEET 2021 · Physics

A parallel plate capacitor has a uniform electric field E→ in the space between the plates. If the distance between the plates is d and the area of each plate is A, the energy stored in the capacitor is: ε0= permittivity of free space)

  • A
    12ε0E2
  • B
    ε0EAd
  • Correct answer
    C
    12ε0E2Ad
  • D
    E2Adε0

Solution

Electric energy density x=12ε0E2

Volume of the space between plates of Capacitor is Ad.

∴ Energy Stored = Energy density × Volume

=12ε0E2Ad

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
