Two parallel conducting plates are separated by 10.0 cm, and one of them is taken to be at zero volts. What is the electric field strength (in kV/m) between them, if the potential 6.50 cm from the zero volt plate (and 3.50 cm from the other) is 440 V?

Two parallel conducting plates are separated by 10.0 cm, and one of them is taken to be at zero volts. What is the electric field strength (in kV/m) between them, if the potential 6.50 cm from the zero volt plate (and 3.50 cm from the other) is 440 V?

Expert Solution
Step 1: Given data

Separation between parallel plates is d equals 10 space cm

One plate is at zero volts, that is, V subscript 1 equals 0 space straight V

Voltage at a distance x equals 6.50 space cm from the zero volt plate is V subscript 2 equals 440 space straight V

Note:

1 space straight m equals 100 space cm

1 space kV equals 1000 space straight V

Find:

Electric field between the plates.
