Question
Suppose you have a uniform electric field within a parallel plate capacitor with field strength E = 41N/C. The plates are 0.5m in length and 0.001m in width, and the space between the plates is 1.5cm. What is the voltage difference across the capacitor?
Correct Answer
Option D is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
The voltage between capacitor plates is simply V = E×d, where d is the plate separation: V = 41×0.015 = 0.615V (the plate length and width don't affect this calculation).
Hint
Voltage across the plates only depends on field strength and plate separation: V = E×d.
