Electrostatics Question 150

Question: A parallel plate capacitor having a plate separation of 2 mm is charged by connecting it to a 300 V supply. The energy density is [BHU 2004]

Options:

A) $ 0.0\text{1}J/{{m}^{\text{3}}} $

B) $ 0.\text{1}J/{{m}^{\text{3}}} $

C) $ \text{1}.0J/{{m}^{\text{3}}} $

D) $ \text{1}0J/{{m}^{\text{3}}} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

The energy density of parallel plate capacitor is given by $ U=\frac{1}{2}{\varepsilon _{0}}E^{2}=\frac{1}{2}{\varepsilon _{0}}{{( \frac{V}{d} )}^{2}} $

$ =\frac{1}{2}\times 8.85\times {{10}^{-12}}C^{2}/Nm^{2}\times {{( \frac{300volt}{2\times {{10}^{-3}}m} )}^{2}} $

$ =0.1J/m^{3} $
