The electric field strength between the plates of a simple air capacitor is equal to the voltage across the plates divided by the distance between them. When a voltage of 96.6 V is put across the plates of such a capacitor an electric field strength of 1.8 KV/cm is measured. Write an equation that will let you calculate the distance d between the plates.

Respuesta :

The distance can be expressed in equation d=5.3*[tex]10^{-4}m[/tex].

Given voltage of 96.6 V and electric field strength of 1.8 KV/cm.

We know that d=V/E

We have to find the distance in equation form.

We know that  electric field strength between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor is

E=V/d

Distance is the measurement between two sides or points.

where E=electric field strength

V=potential difference

d=distance between the plates

In equation form distance looks like:

d=V/E

from the question we are that V=96.6 V

E=1.8KV/cm.

Converting to V/m

E=180000V/m

d=96.6/180000

=0.00053

d=5.3*[tex]10^{-4}m[/tex].

Hence the distance can be expressed as d=[tex]5.3*10^{-4} m[/tex].
