Question #196422

Josh stored an electric potential energy of 2.5j in a vacuum of 1.00m3 by a field E. If the field is reduced to 0.25 of its initial value, how much energy is stored per cubic meter?

we know that ,

electric potential energy in a volume is given by:


(energy density) ×\times (volume) = (12ϵ0E2)×(volume)({1\over2} \epsilon_0 E^2)\times(volume)

here,

P.E.=2.5 J= (12ϵ0E2)×(1)({1\over2} \epsilon_0 E^2)\times(1)


now we reduced E by 0.25 times ,

now new potential energy will be,

P.E.= (12ϵ0(E4)2)×(1)({1\over2} \epsilon_0({ E\over4})^2)\times(1)


=2.5162.5\over16 J

=0.156 J
