Explanation / Answer

Given,

Area of capacitor, A = 4.5 cm^2 = 4.5*10^-4 m^2

Seperation, d = 1.19 mm = 1.19*10^-3 m

Permitivity, ?0 = 8.85*10^-12 C^2/N.m^2

Charge, Q = 355*10^-12 C

Capacitance, C = ?0 A / d

= (8.85*10^-12 * 4.5*10^-4) / (1.19*10^-3)

= 3.348*10^-12 F

potential difference,V = Q /C

= 355 *10^-12 C / 3.348*10^-12 F

= 106.03 V  (Ans)

b ) Electric field, E = V / d

= 106.03 / 1.19*10^-3 m

= 89.1 * 10^3 N /C  (Ans)
