A parallel-plate capacitor is formed from two 1.99 x 1.99 cm electrodes spaced 2.07 mm apart. The electric field strength inside the capacitor is 2.37 *106N/C. What is the charge (in nC) on each electrode?
A capacitor consists of two large flat parallel plates. One plate has surface charge density 4.96 nC/m2 and the other has an equal but opposite surface charge density. The plates are spaced a distance 8.01 cm apart. Give the magnitude of the electric field (in N/C) at a point between the plates.
Each plate of an ideal air-filled parallel-plate capacitor has an area of
1,424 mm² and the separation of the plates is 0.076 mm. An electric
field of 2.610 x 106 V/m is present between the plates. What is the
surface charge density on the plates? (ε = 8.85 × 10-12 C²/N·m²)
