THE LARGEST HORIZONTAL PLATES IS SEPARATED BY 4mm .The plate is at the potencial of -6V . What potencial should be applied to the upper plate to create electric feild strength 4000Vm-1 ypward in the space between the plate

Respuesta :

Answer:

V₂ = -22 V

Explanation:

Electric potential and field are related

         ΔV = - E d

where ΔV is the potential difference between the plates, E the electric field and d the separation between the plates

 

In this exercise we are given the parcionero d = 4 mm = 0.004 m, the potential of one of the plates V1 = -6V and the value of the electric field E = 4000 V / m

          V₂- V₁ = - E d

          V₂ = - Ed + V₁

          V₂ = - 4000 0.004 + (- 6)

          V₂ = -16 - 6

          V₂ = -22 V
