2. Two thin conducting plates, each 29 cm on a side, are situated parallel to one another and 5 mm apart. If 10^10 electrons are moved from one plate to the other, what is the electric field between the plates?

Reminder, you can show via an integral (Example 5.8 in OpenStax Univ. Phys. vol. 2) that the electric field created at the center of an infinitely large plate is E 2 k.

This is not and will not be graded 

Expert Solution
Step 1

Gauss's Law

The surface integral of the electric field over a closed surface is equal to 1εo the total charge enclosed within the closed surface. 

SE.dS=qencεo
