  3. E = V*d
  4. E = d^2/V

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the formula for the electric field (E) between two parallel plates separated by a distance (d) with a potential difference (V)?
  • Step 1: Understand that the electric field (E) is a measure of the force per unit charge in a region of space.
  • Step 2: Recognize that when you have two parallel plates, one is positively charged and the other is negatively charged.
  • Step 3: Know that the distance between the two plates is represented by 'd'.
  • Step 4: Understand that the potential difference (V) is the voltage between the two plates.
  • Step 5: The formula for the electric field (E) between the plates is derived from the relationship between voltage and distance.
  • Step 6: The formula is E = V/d, which means the electric field is equal to the voltage divided by the distance between the plates.
