A parallel plate capacitor with a plate area of... - SS2 Physics Electromagnetism Question
A parallel plate capacitor with a plate area of 100 cm2 and plate separation of 2 mm is connected to a 12 V battery. What is the electric field between the plates? (Assume vacuum permittivity is ε0 = 8.85 x 10-12 C2/N m2)
The electric field between the plates of a capacitor is given by: E = V / d
E = (12 V) / (0.002 m) = 6 x 103 N/C
However, this electric field is uniformly distributed between the plates, so the electric field magnitude is the same everywhere between the plates.
