Parallel Plate Capacitor
The left plate of a parallel plate capacitor carries a positive charge Q, and the
right plate carries a negative charge -Q. The magnitude of
the electric field between the plates is 100 kV/m. The plates
each have an area of 2 × 10-3 m2, and the spacing between
the plates is 6 × 10-3 m. There is no dielectric between
the plates.
Calculate the energy stored in the capacitor.
