Two thin plates (0.50 m x 0.50 m x 'very thin') of a parallel capacitor are located parallel to the xzplane. One of the large plates crosses the y-axis at y = 0 cm, and the other crosses at y = -1 cm. The charge on the positive plate is +30 nC, and on the negative plate, -30 nC. a) What is the voltage from the positive plate to the negative plate? b) What is the electric potential difference from the negative plate to a point in the middle of the space between the plates? c) If the electric potential at the negative plate is 100 V, what is the electric potential at the positive plate?
Dielectric Constant Of Water
Water constitutes about 70% of earth. Some important distinguishing properties of water are high molar concentration, small dissociation constant and high dielectric constant.
Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance
An electrostatic force is a force caused by stationary electric charges /fields. The electrostatic force is caused by the transfer of electrons in conducting materials. Coulomb’s law determines the amount of force between two stationary, charged particles. The electric force is the force which acts between two stationary charges. It is also called Coulomb force.
