Electric Electric field Field Uniform

AI Thread Summary

The electric field strength between two plates separated by 1.2 cm with a potential difference of 25,000V is calculated using the formula E=V/D. Substituting the values, E equals 25,000V divided by 0.012m, resulting in an electric field of approximately 2,083,333.3 V/M. The calculation confirms that the problem has been correctly solved. There is no issue with the answer, as it has been verified. The discussion concludes with reassurance that the calculation is accurate.

1. If the accelerating plates are 1.2cm apart and have a potential difference of 25,000V what is the magnitude of the electric field between them?
2. E=V/D
3. E=25,000V/1.2x10^-2m= 2083333.3 V/M

So, what's the problem? It seems to me that you've already solved it.

I didn't know if I got the question right...

You did. I checked it on my calculator.

Thread 'I've come across another fluid pressure problem I don't understand'

Neglect gravity other than that of water; neglect friction. F1=ρgsh=1000*10*1*(1+4)=50000 N; F1=ρgsh=1000*10*0.1*4=4000 N; F3=50000-4000=46000 N?

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...

Thread 'Egg Drop Challenge! Need ideas for winning designs'

I was thinking using 2 purple mattress samples, and taping them together, I do want other ideas though, the main guidelines are; Must have a volume LESS than 1600 cubic centimeters, and CAN'T exceed 25 cm in ANY direction. Must be LESS than 1 kg. NO parachutes. NO glue or Tape can touch the egg. MUST be able to take egg out in less than 1 minute. Grade A large eggs will be used.
