Energy stored in space/frequency electric field

I've come across a problem with finding the energy stored in time/frequency electric field. In space/time we have (taking $\epsilon = 1$) $$ Energy = \frac{1}{2} \int_V |\mathbf{E}(\mathbf{x},t)|^2 ...

How to find the electric field at a point based on a uniformly charged surface

What is the general solution to finding the electric field at a point based on some (or multiple) charged surfaces. I know that we can perform a line/surface integral if a charge is close to a wire or ...
