Two parallel conducting plates are separated by 10.0 cm, and have an area of 1200 cm2. One of them is taken to be at zero volts. (a) What is the electric field strength (in kV/m) between them, if the potential 6.00 cm from the zero volt plate (and 4.00 cm from the other) is 550 V? (b) What is the voltage between the plates? (c) What is the total charge on the positive plate of the capacitor? (d) What is the total energy stored in the capacitor?
