Explanation / Answer

Given that A parallel-plate capacitor with area (A) =0.600 m2 and plate separation of (d) = 2.00 mm The paltes are connected to a battery (V)= 21.00 V The permittivity (0)=8.854*10-12F/m a) Then the capacitance is                       C =0A/d b) The charge is stored on the plates is                      Q =CV       ( C calculated from thepart (a) ) c) The electric field between the plates is                       E=V/d d) The magnitude of the charge density on each plate.is                    = Q/A         (Q calculated from the part (b) ) e) Capacitance : Decreases Charge : Decreases Electric field : Decreases Charge density : It does not depends on the distance (So, it remains same ) Now substitute all the above values you get the requiredanswer
