Question

In Fig. 25-40, two parallel-plate
capacitors (with air between the plates)
are connected to a battery. Capacitor 1
has a plate area of 1.5 cm2 and an electric
field (between its plates) of magnitude
2000 V/m. Capacitor 2 has a plate area of
0.70 cm2 and an electric field of magnitude 1500 V/m.What is the
total charge on the two capacitors?

Answer 1

Explanation:

capacitors (with air between the plates)

are connected to a battery. Capacitor 1

has a plate area of 1.5 cm2 and an electric

field (between its plates) of magnitude

2000 V/m. Capacitor 2 has a plate area of

0.70 cm2 and an electric field of magnitude 1500 V/m.What is the

total charge on the two capacitors?
