Question

The plates of a parallel plate capacitor each have an area of.40 m2 and are separated by a distance of .02 m. They are charged until the potential difference between the platesis 3000V. The charged capacitor is then isolated. a. Determine the magnitude of the electric field between theplates b. determine the value of the capacitance.

Explanation / Answer

A = 0.40 m2, d = 0.02 m. V = 3000 V.
a. the magnitude of the electric field between the plates
= V/d = 1.50*105 V/C
b. the value of the capacitance
= oA/d = 1.77*10-10 F
