Energy Location in Charged Capacitor

In a charged capacitor, the energy resides in
The positive charges
Both the positive and negative charges
The field between the plates
Around the edge of the capacitor plates

Solution:

In a charged capacitor, the electrostatic potential energy is stored in the electric field that exists between the plates of the capacitor. The energy density is given by \(u_E = \frac{1}{2}\epsilon_0 E^2\).
