Learning Goal: To be able to calculate the energy of a charged capacitor and to understand the concept of energy associated with an electric field. The energy of a charged capacitor is given by U = QV/2, where Q is the charge of the capacitor and V is the potential difference across the capacitor. The energy of a charged capacitor can be described as the energy associated with the electric field created inside the capacitor. In this problem, you will derive two more formulas for the energy of a charged capacitor; you will then use a parallel-plate capacitor as a vehicle for obtaining the formula for the energy density associated with an electric field. It will be useful to recall the definition of capacitance, C = Q/V, and the formula for the capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor, C = €0A/d, where A is the area of each of the plates and d is the plate separation. As usual, eo is the permittiv of free space. In this part of the problem, you will express the energy of various types…
