Dielectric: Displacement Vector

Q- Two parallel conducting plates are separated by the distance d, and the potential difference between the plates is maintained at the value V. A slab of dielectric with constant K and a uniform thickness t < d is inserted between the plates and parallel to them. Find the electric field vector E an…

Electrostatics

(On request - Nshwah)

Q- Two charges are placed between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor. One charge is +q1 and the other is q2 = +6.58 mC. charge per unit are on each plate has a magnitude of σ = 1.39*10-4 C/m2. If the magnitude of force on q1 due to q2 is equal to that on q1 due to the …
