Whoa, sweet, that was the answer.Thanks so much!
I don't really understand why it's constant, though, so if someone could explain it to me, I'd appreciate it.
I don't think I'm understanding the concept completely. I'll write out the problem just in case there was a misunderstanding. (I should just do this from the start, huh?)
A test charge of 3.1microC is placed 8.3cm away from a large flat uniformly charged nonconducting surface. The force on...
Hi again guys. I've got a test charge place a certain distance away from a large flat uniformly charged non-conducting surface. I'm told what the force charge is from this distance. Then the test charge is moved, and I'm supposed to say what the force on the test charge is now. I tried doing it...
Ok, I'll put it verbatim.
Two square metal plates are placed parallel to each other, separated by a distance d = 2.20 cm. The plates have sides of length L = 0.820 m. One of the plates has charge Q = + 2.70 x 10^-3 C, while the other plate has charge -Q. What is the magnitude of the electric...
Nope. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is what I have pictured (since there is no picture to go with the problem):
| - ---> +
| - ---> +
| - ---> +
L - <-d-> +

Alright, here's the problem. You're told that there are two square metal plates with side length L and a distance d away from each other. One has charge +Q, the other -Q. Then they ask for the magnitude for the charge between the plates, not close to the edge.
Here's what I have so far: The...
