| Jun 10, 2020 at 5:44 | comment | added | Puk | That is correct. In electrostatics we speak of the energy of a configuration of charges. Where this energy is stored is immaterial. | |
| Jun 10, 2020 at 5:41 | comment | added | BlackSusanoo | So I can consider the energy to be in the conductor in capcitor as well as in the electric field? Both are equally correct? | |
| Jun 10, 2020 at 5:19 | comment | added | Puk | In electrostatics it doesn't really matter where you consider the energy as being stored. There is no experiment (except perhaps one involving gravity) that can tell you one way or the other. "The difference is a matter of bookkeeping." Even with individual charges you can consider the energy as being stored in the field. | |

| Jun 10, 2020 at 5:11 | comment | added | BlackSusanoo | But I have one doubt so even when there are 2 charges which are isolated are they energies not stored in charges? | |
