Question

For the ranking tasks, you must both provide the ranking and explain your rationale for your ranking. Although a picture may be sufficient, you must make certain that your reasoning is obvious either through pictures and/or words. There is no partial credit for the ranking task. Submit your numerical answer with at most three significant figures. Do not round off intermediate values until you reach your final answer. All numerical answers must have units. The figure shows parallel plate capacitors, the voltages of each of the plates of the capacitor and the spacing between the plates. Rank the electric fields at the points shown from most upward to most downward (i.e., rank the y- component of the electric field from most positive to most negative). Explain vour reasoning 1. 0V cB -20V +10V +10V 1cm ·C -10V 2cm 0V +20V 1cm 2cm ·F +30V +30V 0V

Explanation / Answer

Electric field E = V/d where V = potential difference of both plates

at A ) E = 10/0.02 = 500 v/m from upward to downward

at B) E = 20/0.01 = 2000 v/m from upward to downward

at C) E = 20/0.01 = 2000 v/m from upward to downward

at D) E = 10/0.01 = 1000 v/m from downward to upward

at E) E = 10/0.02 = 500 v/m from upward to downward

at F) E = 20/0.02 = 1000 v/m  from upward to downward

RANK OF ELECTRIC FIELD

B = C > F > E = A > D
