Question

Consider a parallel-plate capacitor constructed of two square plates, 4.22 m on a side, separated by a distance 6.23 mm. If a charge of 2.85 nC is placed on one plate, with an equal but opposite charge on the other plate, find the electric field inside the capacitor. Answer in units of V/m.

Expert Solution

Step 1

We know that a parallel-plate capacitor is constructed of two square plates a = 4.22 m on a side, separated by a distance of d = 6.23 mm. If a charge of q = 2.85 nC is placed on one plate, with an equal but opposite charge on the other plate, find the electric field inside the capacitor.

We know that the formula of the capacitance is given as

$C = \frac{ε_{0} A}{d} - - - - eq 1 A is the area of the square d is the separation distance C is the capacitor$
