Respuesta :

1.8 × 10-6 C  You need to know that charge Q=C*V, that the capacitance C=epsilon_0*A/d and that the electric field between plates is given by E=V/d. Now use these three equations to solve for Q, divide by 2 and get answer 

The capacitor has the ability to store an electrical charge Q (units in Coulombs) of electrons. So the magnitude of the charge between the plates is  [tex]\rm Q= 3.54\;\times\;10^{-6}\;\rm C[/tex].

Here is the explaination the given below.

A parallel-plate capacitor has a plate area of [tex]\rm A = 0.2\; \rm m^2\\[/tex] .

The separation between the plates [tex]\rm d = 0.1\;\rm mm[/tex].

The electric field between the plates is  [tex]\rm E = 2.0\;\times\;10^6\;\rm {v/m}[/tex].

The magnitude of the charge on plates can be calculated as per the formula.

[tex]\rm Q= CV[/tex]

Where,

[tex]\rm C[/tex] is the capacitance between the plates.

[tex]\rm V[/tex] is the voltage across the plates.

The formula to calculate the capacitance is given below.

[tex]\rm C = \varepsilon \dfrac {A} {d}[/tex]

Where, Permittivity [tex]\varepsilon = 8.85\;\times\;10^{(-12)}[/tex]

By substituting the values in the formula to calculate the capacitance,

[tex]\rm C = 8.85\;\times\;10^{(-12)}\;\times(\dfrac {0.2}{0.1\;\times 10^{-3}})[/tex]

[tex]\rm C = 1.77\;\times\;10^{-8}[/tex]

The formula to calculate the voltage is given below.

[tex]\rm V = \rm Ed[/tex]

By substituting the values in the formula to calculate the voltage,

[tex]\rm V= 2.0\;\times\;10^6\;\times\;0.1\;\times\;10^{-3}[/tex]

[tex]\rm V= 200 \rm V[/tex]

So the charge will be calculated as,

[tex]\rm Q= CV[/tex]

[tex]\rm Q = 1.77 \times 10^{-8}\;\times\;200[/tex]

[tex]\rm Q= 3.54\;\times\;10^{-6}\;\rm C[/tex]

The magnitude of charge between the plates of the capacitor is [tex]3.54\;\times\;10^{-6}\;\rm C[/tex].
