    4.78 x 10^-11 J

    Explanation:

    A = 1.5 x 10^-4 m^2

    d = 2 mm = 2 x 10^-3 m

    V = 12 V

    Let C be the capacitance of the capacitor

    C = ε0 A / d

    C = (8.854 x 10^-12 x 1.5 x 10^-4) / (2 x 10^-3)

    C = 6.64 x 10^-13 F

    Energy stored, U = 1/2 CV^2

    U = 0.5 x 6.64 x 10^-13 x 12 x 12

    U = 4.78 x 10^-11 J
