Two 3.09 cm by 3.09 cm plates that form a parallel-plate capacitor are charged to +/- 0.617 nC. What is the electric field strength inside the capacitor if the spacing between the plates is 1.784 mm?

Respuesta :

Given:

The charge on the capacitor is Q = 0.617 nC

The distance between plates is d =1.784 mm

The area is

[tex]\begin{gathered} A=\text{ 3.09}\times3.09 \\ =9.5481\text{ cm}^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

To find the electric field strength.

Explanation:

The electric field strength can be calculated by the formula

[tex]E=\frac{Q}{\epsilon_oA}[/tex]

The constant is

[tex]\epsilon_o=8.85\times10^{-12}\text{ C}^2\text{ / N m}^2[/tex]

On substituting the values, the electric field strength will be
