$A$ 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:

  • A
    $\frac{1}{2} \varepsilon_{0} E^{2} Ad$
  • B
    $\varepsilon_{0} E Ad$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{2} \varepsilon_{0} E^{2}$
  • D
    $\frac{E^{2} Ad}{\varepsilon_{0}}$
