REVIEWING OLD TEST and.. don't understand why you use the full distance.
pretty much there's a home made capacitor made by two pie pans 3.5 cm apart. V is given Q is given, the question asks:
calculate the electric field halfway between the plates
dV=Ed
you just simply plug in, but why is distance the full 3.5 cm and not half of that, as youre finding the field at a distance that is halfway between the plates? am i answering my own question and the E field is constant?
