Energy per unit volume for a capacitor h...

Energy per unit volume for a capacitor having area A and separation d kept at potential diffeence V is given by : -

A

`(1)/(2)epsilon_(0)(V^(2))/(d^(2))`

B

`(1)/(2epsilon_(0))(V^(2))/(d^(2))`

C

`(1)/(2)CV^(2)`

D

`(Q^(2))/(2C)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

Energy density `=(1)/(2)epsilon_(0)E^(2)`
Since `E=(V)/(d)`
Therefore, energy density `=(1)/(2)epsilon_(0)((V^(2))/(d^(2)))`
