Capacitor?
A) 60 V/m
B) 2000 V/m
C) 3600 V/m

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The electric field (E) between the plates of a parallel-plate capacitor is given by the formula E = V/d, where V is the potential difference and d is the separation between the plates. Here, V = 60 V and d = 0.06 m, so E = 60 V / 0.06 m = 1000 V/m.
