A parallel plate capacitor has a uniform electric field \(\vec{E}\) 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: 
\(\left ( \varepsilon_{0} = \text{permittivity of free space} \right )\)
1. \(\frac{1}{2}\varepsilon_0 E^2 Ad\)
2. \(\frac{E^2 Ad}{\varepsilon_0}\)
3. \(\frac{1}{2}\varepsilon_0 E^2 \)
4. \(\varepsilon_0 EAd\)
