1.) a charge of -2x10^-9 C in an electric field between two metal plates 4cm apart is acted upon by a force of 10^-4 N. a.) what is the strength of the field? b.) what is the potential difference between the plates?

Question

my question: how will going to solve this kind of problem? what do it mean "what is the strength of field?" and "what is the potential difference between the plates?"

pls help me on here.. tnx

Answer 1

Potential between plates is the voltage.
strength of field? What is the electric field strength. If you do not know what I am saying, you need a tutor immediately.

F/q=E solve for E.

V/d=E solve for V.
