Customer ServiceInductors store energy in the form of a magnetic field when electrical current flows through them, while capacitors store energy as an electric field between their plates when voltage is applied.
Customer ServiceBecause capacitors store the potential energy of accumulated electrons in the form of an electric field, they behave quite differently than resistors (which simply dissipate energy in the form of heat) in a circuit.

Customer ServiceWe say that there is energy associated with electric and magnetic fields. For example, in the case of an inductor, we give a vague answer saying that an energy of 12LI2 1 2 L I 2 is stored in the magnetic field around the inductor. For a capacitor, we say that energy is stored in the field.
Customer ServiceIn this section we calculate the energy stored by a capacitor and an inductor. It is most profitable to think of the energy in these cases as being stored in the electric and magnetic fields produced respectively in the capacitor and the inductor. From these calculations we compute the energy per unit volume in electric and magnetic fields

Customer ServiceThis formula for the energy density in the electric field is specific to a parallel plate capacitor. However, it turns out to be valid for any electric field. A similar analysis of a current increasing from zero in an inductor yields the energy density in a magnetic field.
Customer ServiceHowever: As the capacitor charges, the magnetic field does not remain static. This results in electromagnetic waves which radiate energy away. The energy put into the magnetic field during charging is lost in the sense that it cannot be feed back to the circuit by the capacitor. In the limit of a fully charged capacitor, there is no
Customer ServiceHow Does A Capacitor Store Energy: Energy Storage Mechanism. A capacitor stores energy in the electric field created between its plates. The energy stored can be calculated using the formula E=1/2 CV². Here, (E) represents the energy in joules, (C) is the capacitance measured in farads, and (V) is the voltage across the capacitor. This formula shows that both
Customer ServiceWhen charging a capacitor, the currents will generate a B-field and there is stored energy in that field (same as for an inductor).

Customer ServiceAnother common application of a capacitor is Energy storage. But, does a capacitor store energy in the form of a magnetic field? No, a capacitor does not store energy in the form of a magnetic field.
You are correct, that while charging a capacitor there will be a magnetic field present due to the change in the electric field. And of course B contains energy as pointed out. However: As the capacitor charges, the magnetic field does not remain static. This results in electromagnetic waves which radiate energy away.
For a capacitor, we say that energy is stored in the field. This is understandable as the electric field is trying to combining the charges on the plates but there exists a physical barrier separating. In other words, I can say that the energy is stored as the electric potential energy of the charges in the two plates.
We say that there is energy associated with electric and magnetic fields. For example, in the case of an inductor, we give a vague answer saying that an energy of 12LI2 1 2 L I 2 is stored in the magnetic field around the inductor. For a capacitor, we say that energy is stored in the field.
The measure of a capacitor’s ability to store energy for a given amount of voltage drop is called capacitance. Not surprisingly, capacitance is also a measure of the intensity of opposition to changes in voltage (exactly how much current it will produce for a given rate of change in voltage).
The work done is equal to the product of the potential and charge. Hence, W = Vq If the battery delivers a small amount of charge dQ at a constant potential V, then the work done is Now, the total work done in delivering a charge of an amount q to the capacitor is given by Therefore the energy stored in a capacitor is given by Substituting
