Answer:
The charge on each plate is 0.0048 nC
Explanation:
for the distance between the plates d and given the area of plates, A, and ε = 8.85×10^-12 C^2/N.m^2, the capacitance of the plates is given by:
C = (A×ε)/d
=[(0.2304×10^-2)(0.2304×10^-2)×(8.85×10^-12))/(0.5974×10^-3)
= 7.86×10^-14 F
then if the plates are connected to a battery of voltage V = 61 V, the charge on the plates is given by:
q = C×V
= (7.86×10^-14)×(61)
= 4.80×10^-14 C
≈ 0.0048 nC
Therefore, the charge on each plate is 0.0048 nC.
