Step by step solution

01

About Parallel plate capacitor 

A parallel plate capacitor is an arrangement of two metal plates connected in parallel separated from each other by some distance. A dielectric medium occupies the gap between the plates

02

Determine the formula used

,,,

03

determine the potential difference between the plates

Therefore the potential difference between the plates is 10Kv

04

Determine the Area of each plate 

Therefore the area of each plate is

05

:Determine the Electric field magnitude and surface charge density

Therefore theelectricfieldmagnitudeis

The electric Charge density is

Copper has 8.5×1022free electrons per cubic meter. A 71.0-cm

length of 12-gauge copper wire that is 2.05 mm in diameter carries 4.85 A of

current. (a) How much time does it take for an electron to travel the length

of the wire? (b) Repeat part (a) for 6-gauge copper wire (diameter 4.12 mm)

of the same length that carries the same current. (c) Generally speaking,

how does changing the diameter of a wire that carries a given amount of

current affect the drift velocity of the electrons in the wire?
