Two metal plates are separated by \( 2 \mathrm{~cm} \). The potentials of the plates are \( -10 \mathrm{~V} \) and \( +30 \mathrm{~V} \).
The electric field between the two plates is :

  1. A \( 200 \mathrm{~V} / \mathrm{m} \)
  2. B \( 500 \mathrm{~V} / \mathrm{m} \)
  3. C \( 3000 \mathrm{~V} / \mathrm{m} \)
  4. D \( 1000 \mathrm{~V} / \mathrm{m} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \( 200 \mathrm{~V} / \mathrm{m} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(A)
\( E=\frac{V}{\alpha}=\frac{30-(-10)}{2 \times 10^{-2}}=2000 \mathrm{Vm}^{-1} \)
( \( \alpha= \) distance between two plates)
