Here 

The capacitance of the parallel plate capacitor :

C=\frac{\epsilon_0 A}{d}

 

The Electrostatic energy stored in the capacitor is given by :

E=\frac{1}{2}CV^2=\frac{1}{2}\frac{\varepsilon _0A}{d}V^2 =\frac{1.885*10^{-12}90*10^{-4}*400^2}{2*2.5*10^{-3}}=2.55*10^{-6}J

Hence, the electrostatic energy stored by the capacitor is 2.55*10^{-6}J.
