Question
The plates of a parallel plate capacitor in a vacuum are 5mm apart and 2m^2 in area. A potential difference if 10kV is applied across the capacitor.Find the magnitude of the electric field in the space between them. The plates of a parallel plate capacitor in a vacuum are 5mm apart and 2m^2 in area. A potential difference if 10kV is applied across the capacitor.
Find the magnitude of the electric field in the space between them.
Find the magnitude of the electric field in the space between them.
Explanation / Answer
The electricfield between the plates of the cpacitor is
E = V / d
= (10* 10 ^ 3 V ) / ( 5*10^ -3 m )
= 2*10^ 6 V /m
