    Plate Capacitor: Find Voltage with 4\muC & 0.4m2 Area

    I just looked at my calculations and cnai just say sorry if they are a little garbled. I'm having trouble getting used to the way you do calculations on the website. Let me know if you would like me to do them again. Thanks!

    Plate Capacitor: Find Voltage with 4\muC & 0.4m2 Area

    (.4m2/.5\mum)x8.85E-12=C C=q/\DeltaV \DeltaV=q/C=4\muC/Capacitance

    Plate Capacitor: Find Voltage with 4\muC & 0.4m2 Area

    Homework Statement The plates of a capacitor have an area of 0.4m2 and are separated by a distance of 0.5 micrometers. The material between the two plates is air with a dielectric constant of 1.0 One plate of the capacitor is given the charge of 4\muC. The voltage across the capacitor is, in...

    Calculating Electric Potential of a Point Charge Using Gauss' Law

    Yeah sorry about that haha working on currents right now too. I see. So I would use the 3 m for the r term then? Just to make my stupid self sure?

    Calculating Electric Potential of a Point Charge Using Gauss' Law

    Sorry to beat a dead horse, but even though it's looking for the electric potential at 3 m on a sphere? I just thought some crazy area of a sphere type thing might get involved, due to applying ohms law over the surface of a sphere.

    Calculating Electric Potential of a Point Charge Using Gauss' Law

    So wait, to find q i don't have to use gauss' law right? I thought that it was saying the field 2 m away was 20. I could use E=q/r2. With that value of q, you can then use gauss' law to figure out the electric field over a whole sphere. So do i take that value of q and just divide it by the...

    Calculating Electric Potential of a Point Charge Using Gauss' Law

    Well that would be a sphere. I've considered that and trying to apply the area of a sphere to the problem in some way. One way I considered was q/4\pir2\varphi. I just don't know if that's right. Or would the area go in the numerator? Assuming that is even close, in order to calculate electric...

    Calculating Electric Potential of a Point Charge Using Gauss' Law

    Homework Statement A point charge Q is located at the origin. The point charge produces an electric field at a radius of 2.0 meters from the origin of 20N/c.The electric potential of a spherical surface of radius 3.0 meters around the point charge is, in Volts. Homework Equations...
