Question

what is the ratio of electric field intensities at any 2 points between plates of a capacitor?

Answer 1

Answer:

electric field between the capacitor is

E=σ/2*∈

since it is constant for all points

ratio will be 1

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

The ratio of electric field intensities at any 2 points between the plates of a capacitor is unity.

Explanation:

In a parallel-plate capacitor, the voltage applied between the plates creates a uniform electric field between the plates.

The electric field intensity in a capacitor is directly proportional to the voltage applied and inversely proportional to the distance between the plates.

i.e., $E=\dfrac{V}{d}$

Electric field intensity depends only on the applied potential difference and the distance between the plates.

Since electric field is uniform over the distance between the plates, therefore the electric field intensity at any 2 points between the plates of a capacitor remains same.

Hence, the ratio of electric field intensities at any 2 points between the plates of a capacitor is unity.
