Question

Two charged metal plates are 0.50 meter apart. A voltmeter shows a difference of potential of 1000 volts between them. What is the electric field strength between the two plates?

Answer 1

Favourite answer

The field strength is variable between the two plates, but for our purposes we can approximate it as a constant using the equation ΔV = E*d.

1000 V = E*(0.5 m) => E = 2000 V/m (or N/C, they're equivalent units)

Hope this helps!
