Is it true that capacitors store electrical energy in an electric field between two conductive plates?
Yes. A reference work states directly that a capacitor stores energy in an electric field between a pair of closely spaced conductors, and a peer-reviewed article gives the same definition; other sources confirm capacitors store electrical energy but describe the mechanism less precisely.
