Answer

$10.6~J/m^3$

Work Step by Step

We can find the electric energy density as follows: $E=\frac{1}{2}CV^2$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $E=\frac{1}{2}(225\times 10^{-6}F)(345V)^2$ $E=13.4J$ and $A=\frac{Cd}{\epsilon_{\circ}}$ $A=\frac{(225\times 10^{-6}F)(0.223\times 10^{-3}m)}{8.85\times 10^{-12}F/m}$ $A=5.66949\times 10^3m^2$ Now the electric energy density is given as $Electric \space energy\space density=\frac{E}{A\times t}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $Electric \space energy\space density=\frac{13.4J}{(5.66949m^2)(0.223\times 10^{-3}m)}=10.6~J/m^3$
