### Question 7

**Problem:**
An electric field of \(525 \, \text{V/m}\) is desired between two parallel plates that are \(11.0 \, \text{mm}\) apart. How large a voltage should be applied?

**Solution:**

To find the voltage required to produce the desired electric field between the plates, we can use the relationship:
\[ E = \frac{V}{d} \]

Where:
- \(E\) is the electric field (in volts per meter, \(\text{V/m}\)),
- \(V\) is the voltage (in volts, \(\text{V}\)),
- \(d\) is the distance between the plates (in meters, \(\text{m}\)).

Given:
\[ E = 525 \, \text{V/m} \]
\[ d = 11.0 \, \text{mm} = 11.0 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m} \]

We rearrange the equation to solve for \(V\):
\[ V = E \cdot d \]

Substitute the given values:
\[ V = 525 \, \text{V/m} \times 11.0 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m} \]
\[ V = 5.775 \, \text{V} \]

**Answer:**
The voltage that should be applied is \(5.775 \, \text{V}\).
