Question

You connect a 12 V battery across the terminals leading to a pair of parallel plates (e.g. a configuration like what you had as your setup in the electric field mapping lab). The plates are each 36 cm long, and they are placed 24 cm apart. What will be the electric field strength midway between the plates

Answer 1

The electric field strength midway between the plates is 100 V/m.

Electric field strength

The electric field strength experienced by the charge is the force per unit charge flowing in the field.

The electric field strength midway between the plates is calculated as follows;

E = V/d

where;

• d is the distance between the plates

Midway between the plates = 12 cm = 0.12 m

E = 12/0.12

E = 100 V/m
