Question

A charge of 10-10 C between two parallel plates 1cm apart experience a force of 10-5N.The P.D between the plates will be

a)10V
b) 100V
c)1000V
d) 1V

Answer 1

The potential difference (PD) between the plates is 100,000V or 100kV.

Step-by-step explanation:

The potential difference (PD) between the plates can be found using the equation:

PD = Force / Charge

Given that the force experienced by the charge is 10-5N and the charge is 10-10C, we can substitute these values into the equation to find the PD:

PD = (10^-5N) / (10^-10C) = 10^5V = 100,000V

Therefore, the potential difference between the plates is 100,000V or 100kV. The correct option is b) 100V.
