A battery is used to charge a parallel plate capacitor till the potential difference between the plates becomes equal to the electromotive force of the battery. The ratio of the energy stored in the capacitor and the work done by the battery will be:
A parallel plate condenser with a dielectric of dielectric constant K between the plates has a capacity C and is charged to a potential V volt. The dielectric slab is slowly removed from between the plates and then reinserted. The net work done by the system in this process is

Energy stored in capacitor
Energy stored in capacitor: When the charge is added to a capacitor then charge already present on the plate repel any new incoming charge. Hence a new charge has to be sent by applying force and doing work on it. All this work done on charges become energy stored in the capacitor. If Q is the amount of charge stored when the whole battery voltage appears across the capacitor, then the stored energy is obtained from the integral:
$$
U=\int_0^Q \frac{q}{C} d q=\frac{1}{2} \frac{Q^2}{C}
$$
This energy expression can be put in three equivalent forms by just permutations based on the definition of
$$
\begin{aligned}
& C=\frac{Q}{V} \\
& \text { capacitance } \\
& U=\frac{1}{2} \frac{Q^2}{C}=\frac{1}{2} Q V=\frac{1}{2} C V^2
\end{aligned}
$$
This energy is stored in the form of an Electric field between the plates.
The energy density per unit volume (u)
$$
\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{u}=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{cv}^2 / \mathrm{V}=\frac{1}{2} \frac{\varepsilon_0 A E^2 d^2}{d A d} \\
& \mathrm{u}=\frac{1}{2} \varepsilon_0 E^2
\end{aligned}
$$
Note- The energy density per unit volume (u) is numerically equal to Electrostatic pressure.
