Two large non-conducting plates of surface area A= 0.25m^2 carry equal but opposite charges Q=75uC. What is the energy density of the electric field between the two plates?
Exactly. In addition, please use the homework template.darkxponent said:Hi pr_angeleyes

In short, first you have to show some attempt to get any help!
The energy density of the electric field is the amount of energy stored per unit volume in an electric field. It is a measure of the strength of the electric field and is typically measured in joules per cubic meter (J/m3).
The energy density of the electric field can be calculated using the equation:
Energy density = 0.5 * permittivity of free space * electric field strength2
The energy density of the electric field is directly proportional to the square of the electric field strength. This means that as the electric field strength increases, so does the energy density.
The energy density of the electric field can be affected by the distance from the source of the electric field, the permittivity of the medium, and the strength of the electric field.
The energy density of the electric field is important in practical applications because it helps determine the amount of energy that can be stored in a given electric field. This can be useful in designing capacitors, calculating the energy of lightning strikes, and understanding the behavior of electromagnetic waves.
