Hey there! 

<span>Scientists know that seismic waves can be either compressional or transverse because there are horizontal and vertical movements during an earthquake. Horizontal movements are compressional while vertical movements are transverse. 

Thank you!</span>

A parallel-plate capacitor has a plate area of 0.2 m^2 and a plate separation of 0.1 mm. If the charge on each plate has a magni
barxatty [35]

Answer:

The potential difference across the plates is 226 V.

Explanation:

Given;

area of the capacitor plate, A = 0.2 m²

separation, d = 0.1 mm = 0.1 x 10⁻³ m

charge on each plate, Q = 4 x 10⁻⁶ C

Charge on the capacitor is given by;

Q = CV

Where;

C is the capacitance of the capacitor, given as;

C = ε₀A / d

Then, the potential difference across the plates is given by;

V = \frac{Q}{C} = \frac{Qd}{\epsilon_o A} = \frac{(4*10^{-6})(0.1*10^{-3})}{(8.85*10^{-12})(0.2)}\\\\V = 226 \ V

Therefore, the potential difference across the plates is 226 V.
