Answer:
The energy stored is 1.4 x 10^-9 J.
Explanation:
Side of square, L = 10 cm = 0.1 m
Distance, d = 2 mm = 0.002 m
Electric field, E = 4000 V/m
The energy stored in the capacitor is
[tex]U = 0.5 C V^2[/tex]
The capacitance is given by
[tex]C = \frac{\varepsilon o A}{d}\\\\So \\\\U = 0.5\frac{\varepsilon o A}{d}\times E^2 d^2\\\\U = 0.5\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}\times 0.1\times 0.1\times 4000\times 4000\times 0.002\\\\U = 1.4\times10^{-9} J[/tex]
