Obtain the expression for the energy stored in a charged parallel plate capacitro and express it in its three equivalent forms, in terms of capacitance C, charge Q on the plate and potential difference V between the plates. Use this result to show that the energy density, of the electric field E, in a capacitor equals `1/2varepsilon_0E^2`.
