Question

A capacitor consists of two large flat parallel plates. One plate has surface charge density 4.96 nC/m2 and the other has an equal but opposite surface charge density. The plates are spaced a distance 8.01 cm apart. Give the magnitude of the voltage (difference in electric potential) between the two plates. Answer in units of V. 

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given data:-

Surface charge density  sigma =  4.96 nC/m2

                  or sigma = 4.96×10-9 C/m2

Distance between the plate d = 8.01 cm

                         or d = 8.01×10-2 m
