Answer:
The electric field betwee the plates is 500 V/m
Explanation:
Voltage
The electrical potential difference V between the two plates is expressed as
V=Ed
Where:
E = Electric field strength
d = Distance between the plates
It's expressed in Joules/coulomb, Volts/m or equivalent units.
The plates are separated d=2 cm and a potential difference V=10 V is applied. The electric field strength between the plates can be calculated by solving the formula for E:
[tex]\displaystyle E=\frac{V}{d}[/tex]
Converting cm to m: d=2 / 100 = 0.02 m
[tex]\displaystyle E=\frac{10\ V}{0.02\ m}[/tex]
Dividing:
E = 500 V/m
The electric field betwee the plates is 500 V/m
