Question

(a) When the terminals of a 100-V battery are connected to two parallel plates 1 cm apart, what is the electrical field in the region between the plates

Answer 1

The electrical field in the region between the plates is 10,000 V/m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

potential difference between the two parallel plates, V = 100 V

distance between the two parallel plates, d = 1 cm = 0.01 m

The electrical field in the region between the plates is given as;

E = V / d

where;

E is the electrical field in the region between the plates

E = (100) / (0.01)

E = 10,000 V/m

Therefore, the electrical field in the region between the plates is 10,000 V/m.
