Question

a parallel plate capacitor has a plate area of .2m2and a plate seperation of .1mm. If the charge on each plate has amagnitude of 4 x 10-6 C the potential difference acrossthe plates is approximately? detailed answer please, I can't seem to get the answer key'sanswer of 2 x 102 V a parallel plate capacitor has a plate area of .2m2and a plate seperation of .1mm.

Explanation / Answer

A parallel plate Capacitor has an Area A =0.2 m2      seperation between the plates is d = 0.1 mm                                                            = 0.1 *10-3 m     Capacitance of a Capacitor is C = 0 A / d                                                       = 8.85*10-12 *  0.2 m2 /  0.1 *10-3 m                                                       = 17.7*10-9 F              charge of the Capacitor is Q = 4 *10-6C                             Potential difference V = Q / C                                                                 =  4 *10-6 C / 17.7*10-9F                                                                  = 225 V                                                                   =2.2*102 V
