Question
A parallel plate capacitor has a surface charge density of σ = 0.0046 C/m2 on one plate. A small sphere charged to Q = 5.2E-06 C is moved a distance d = 0.17 m between the plates. Refer to the figure, which is not drawn to scale.
Enter an expression for the electric field vector within the capacitor, E, using given quantities and the unit vectors i and j.
