If the potential across two parallel plates, separated by 3 cm, is 12 volts, what is the electric field strength in volts per meter? E = _____ volts/m

Respuesta :

there are 100cm in 1m, divide 100 by 3 and you get 33, multiply that by 12 and you get  396 volts/m.

Hope this is correct and helps.

Answer:

E = 400 V/m

Explanation:

It is given that, for a parallel plates :

Potential difference, V = 12 volts

Separation between the plates, d = 3 cm = 0.03 m

The relation between the electric field and the electric potential is given as :

[tex]E=\dfrac{V}{d}[/tex]

[tex]E=\dfrac{12\ V}{0.03\ m}[/tex]

E = 400 volts/m

So, the strength of the electric field is 400 V/m.
