$A$ parallel plate air capacitor has a uniform electric field $E$ in the space between the plates. The area of each plate is $A$ and the distance between the plates is $d$. The energy stored in the capacitor is $[\varepsilon_0 = \text{permittivity of free space}]$

  • A
    $2 \varepsilon_0 E A d$
  • B
    $\frac{\varepsilon_0 E^2}{2 A d}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{2} \varepsilon_0 E^2 A d$
  • D
    $\frac{E^2 A d}{2 \varepsilon_0}$
