Electric Field between Two Oppositely Charged Parallel Plates Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the electric field between two oppositely charged parallel plates is:

\[ E = \frac{\sigma}{[\text{Permitivity-vacuum}]} \]

Where:

\(E\) is the electric field in V/m.
\(\sigma\) is the surface charge density in C/m².
\([\text{Permitivity-vacuum}]\) is the permittivity of vacuum (approximately \(8.85 \times 10^{-12} \, \text{F/m}\)).

The electric field is the force per unit charge at a particular point in space around a distribution of electric charges.

Surface charge density is the quantity of electric charge per unit area of a surface, typically measured in coulombs per square meter.

Let's assume the following value:

Using the formula:

\[ E = \frac{5.31 \times 10^{-9}}{8.85 \times 10^{-12}} \approx 600 \, \text{V/m} \]

The electric field is approximately 600 V/m.
