The electric field strength between the plates of a simple air capacitor is equal to the voltage across the plates divided by the distance between them. When a voltage of 112 V is put across the plates of such a capacitor an electric field strength of 1.1 kV/cm is measured. Write an equation that will let you calculate the distance d between the plates.

d = V/E

Explanation:

From the definition, we can say that the electric field strength between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor is

E = v/d

where

E = electric field strength

V = potential difference

d = distance between the plates

On rearranging the equation and making d subject of the formula, we have

d = V/E

From the question, we're given that

V = 112 V

E = 1.12 kV/cm converting to V/m, we have 110000 V/cm

d = 112 / 110000

d = 0.00102 m

d = 1.02*10^-3 m

conservation of mass

mass before something happens = mass afterwards
