Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Answer to Problem 47P

The charge on each plate is 1.15×109C .

Explanation of Solution

Given info:

The electric field between two square metal plates is E=130N/C .

The side of the plate is 1.0m .

The plate is separated by 3.0cm .

Formula used:

From the Gauss law

  E=σε0=Q/Aε0Q=ε0EA

Here, ε0 is the absolute permittivity, E is the electric field and A is area.

Calculation:

Substituting the given values

  Q=(8.85×1012C2/Nm2)(130N/C)(1m2)=1.15×109C

Conclusion:

Thus, the charge on each plate is 1.15×109C .
