A parallel plate capacitor has a rectangular plates with length 5cm and width 3cm. They are separated by a distance 12m and hooked up to a 20V battery
A.) what is the area of each plate in m^2
B.) assuming nothing else is present on the circuit what is the potential difference between the plates?
C.) what is the capacitance of this parallel plate capacitor?
D.)what is the total charge on the positively charged plate of this capacitor?
E.) what is the surface charge density of this capacitor?
F.) what is the electric field outside the capacitor?
G.) what is the area of the sides of the Gaussian surface
H.)what is the total charge enclosed by the Gaussian surface?
I.) find the total electric flux going through the Gaussian surface
J.) using Guass's law, what is the electric field at some point inside the capacitor?
