A parallel plate capacitor consists of two rectangular, horizontally oriented plates, each with an area of 4.00 cm2, and separated by a distance of 0.300 mm. If the magnitude of the charge on each capacitor is 5.00 nC, what is the magnitude of the electric field at a height of 0.800 cm between both plates?

a.

1.41 x 106 N/C

  b.

2.82 x 108 N/C

  c.

1.04 x 104 N/C

  d.

3.75 x 105 N/C

  e.

0.000 N/C

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given, area A = 4.00 cm2 = 4.00 × 10-4 m2

        distance d = 0.300 mm = 0.300 × 10-3 m

           charge Q = 5.00 nC = 5.00 × 10-9 C

           height h = 0.800 cm = 0.800 × 10-2 m
