    Answer:

    The radius of the circular plate is 0.774 m

    Explanation:

    Given;

    distance between the parallel plates, d = 1.53 cm = 0.0153 m

    electric field energy density between plates, U_E  = 4.41 J/m³

    Potential energy of the capacitor, U_c = 0.127 J

    Energy density is given as;

    U_E = \frac{U_c}{V}

    where;

    V is volume

    V = \frac{U_c}{U_E} = \frac{0.127}{4.41} = 0.0288 \ m^3

    Volume is given as;

    V = Ad

    where;

    A is area

    A = V / d

    A = (0.0288) / (0.0153)

    A = 1.882 m²

    Area of circular plate is given as;

    A = πr²

    where;

    r is the radius of the circular plate

    r = \sqrt{\frac{A}{\pi} } \\\\r = \sqrt{\frac{1.882}{\pi}}\\\\r = 0.774 \ m

    Therefore, the radius of the circular plate is 0.774 m
