$A$ capacitor is charged by a battery and the energy stored in it is $U$. The battery is now removed and the separation distance between the plates is doubled. The energy stored now is:

If a $12 \ pF$ capacitor is connected to a $50 \ V$ battery,then the electrostatic energy stored in the capacitor is . . . . . . .

For a capacitor with area $A$ and potential difference $V$ separated by a distance $d$,the energy per unit volume is:

The plates of a parallel plate capacitor have an area of $90 \,cm^{2}$ each and are separated by $2.5 \,mm$. The capacitor is charged by connecting it to a $400 \,V$ supply.
$(a)$ How much electrostatic energy is stored by the capacitor?
$(b)$ View this energy as stored in the electrostatic field between the plates,and obtain the energy per unit volume $u$. Hence arrive at a relation between $u$ and the magnitude of electric field $E$ between the plates.
