An electric field of 8.5x105 V/m is desired between two parallel
plates, each of area 45 cm7 and separated by 2.45mm of air. What
charge must be on each plate?

Respuesta :

The charge that must be on each plate is 3.53 x 10⁻⁸ C.

Electric field between two parallel plates

The electric field between two parallel plates is given as;

C = εA/d

C = Q/V

V = Ed

C = Q/Ed

Q/Ed = εA/d

Q/E = εA

Q = εEA

where;

  • ε is permittivity of free space
  • E is electric field strength
  • A is the area of the plate
  • Q is the charge

Q = (8.85 x 10⁻¹² x 8.85 x 10⁵ x 45 x 10⁻⁴)

Q = 3.53 x 10⁻⁸ C

Thus, the charge that must be on each plate is 3.53 x 10⁻⁸ C.
