Question

For the parallel plates mentioned above, the DC power supply is set to 24 Volts and the plate on the right is at x = 12 cm. What is the magnitude of the electric field at a point on the x-axis where x = 8.0 cm? Answer with a number in the format ### in Newtons per Coulombs.

Answer 1

200 V/m

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the magnitude of the electric field is shown below:

Data provided in the question

DC power supply = 24 volts

The Point on X-axis = 12 cm

The Point on X-axis = 8 cm

Based on the above information, the magnitude of the electric field is

`|\vec{E}|=(\Delta V)/(\Delta x)\\\\=(24 V)/(12*10^(-2)m)\\\\=\mathbf{200\ V/m}`

As the plates are very big so we considered that the electric field inner could be bring out as a uniform and so it would be the same for 8 cm as well
