Answer:
Q= 722.5 *10⁻¹² C
Explanation:
Conceptual analysis
For a parallel plate capacitor, we can use the following formula :
E= (Q) /(ϵ₀*A) Formula (1)
Where:
E: electric field between the plates ( N/C)
Q: Charge of the plates (C)
ϵo : vacuum permittivity ( C²/ N.m²)
A : area oh the plates (m²)
Known data
A = 1.2 m²
E= 68 N/C
ϵo= 8.8542*10⁻¹² ( C²/ N.m²)
Problem development
We apply the formula (1) :
Q= (68) (8.8542*10⁻¹²)(1.2)
Q= 722.5 *10⁻¹² C
