A parallel-plate capacitor is formed from two 6.0-cm-diameter electrodes spaced 2.0 mm apart. The electric field strength inside the capacitor is 1.0*106 N/C1.0*106 N/C. What is the charge (in nC) on each electrode?

2.5 x 10^-8 C

Explanation:

Diameter = 6 cm, radius = 3 cm = 0.03 m, d = 2 mm = 2 x 10^-3 m

E = 1 x 10^6 N/C, q = ?

q = C V

As we know that, V = E x d and C = ∈0 A / d

q = ∈0 x A x E x d / d

q = ∈0 x A x E

q = 8.854 x 10^-12 x 3.14 x 0.03 x 0.03 x 1 x 10^6

q = 2.5 x 10^-8 C
