Suppose, we have a parallel plate capacitor and we know the following about it: Area of each plate = $0.0012m^2$ Distance between the two plates = $0.002m$ Charge on each plate after fully charging the capacitor = $2\times10^{-6}C$ Potential difference between the plates after fully charging the capacitor = $4\times 10^{-3}V$ My solution: We know that the electric field intensity at a point between two equally and oppositely charged plates is $\LARGE\frac{\sigma}{\epsilon_0}$. So, for the above case, $$\large E = \frac{\sigma}{\epsilon_0}$$ $$\large\implies E = \frac{\frac{2\times10^{-6}}{0.0012} }{8.85\times10^{-12}}{NC^{-1}}$$ $$\large\implies E =188323917.1NC^{-1}$$ My book's solution: $$E = \frac{V}{d}$$ $$\implies E=\frac{4\times 10^{-3}V}{0.002m}NC^{-1}$$ $$\implies E = 2NC^{-1}$$ If the books solution is correct, could you please explain why my answer is wrong and the book's is correct? Thanks in advance!

Air is held within a frictionless piston-cylinder container, which is oriented vertically. the mass of the piston is 0.45 kg and the cross-sectional area is 0.0030 m2. initially (state 1) the pressure of the gas is sufficient to support the weight of the piston as well as the force exerted by the atmospheric pressure ( 101.32 kpa). the volume occupied by the air within the cylinder in state 1 is 1.00 liter. one end of a spring (with spring constant k = 1000 n/m) is attached to the top of the piston, while the other end of the spring is attached to a stage that can move vertically. initially the spring is undeflected and therefore exerts no force. then the stage is then moved quasistatically downward a distance of 10.0 cm, at which point the system reaches state 2. the piston-cylinder is not insulated; rather it remains in diathermal contact with the surroundings, which are at a constant temperature of 300 k. what is the change of pressure within the container?

Moon effect. some people believe that the moon controls their activities. if the moon moves from being directly on the opposite side of earth from you to being directly overhead, by what percentage does (a) the moon's gravitational pull on you increase and (b) your weight (as measured on a scale) decrease? assume that the earth–moon (center-to-center) distance is 3.82 × 10^8 m, earth's radius is 6.37 × 10^6 m, moon's mass is 7.36 × 10^22 kg, and earth's mass is 5.98 × 10^24 kg.
