$A$ parallel plate capacitor has a uniform electric field $E$ in the space between the plates. If the distance between the plates is $d$ and the area of each plate is $A,$ the energy stored in the capacitor is

  • A
    $\varepsilon_0 EAd$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{2} \varepsilon_0 \frac{E^2}{Ad}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{2} \varepsilon_0 E^2 Ad$
  • D
    $\varepsilon_0 \frac{E^2}{Ad}$
