Question
A parallel plate air capacitor is made using two plates of area 0.2 m2 separated by 1 cm. It is connected to a 50 V battery. What is the charge on each plate?
Correct Answer
Option C is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
C = eps0 A/d = (8.85x10-12)(0.2)/(0.01) = 1.77x10-10 F. Q = CV = 8.85 nC.
Hint
C = eps0 A/d = (8.85x10-12)(0.2)/(0.01) = 1.77x10-10 F.
