Problem

A parallel-plate capacitor has a plate separation of 3.0 mm3.0\,\text{mm}. A potential difference of 450 V450\,\text{V} is applied across the plates. What is the magnitude of the electric field between the plates? (a) 1.5×104 V m−11.5\times10^{4}\,\text{V\,m}^{-1} (b) 4.5×105 V m−14.5\times10^{5}\,\text{V\,m}^{-1} (c) 1.5×105 V m−11.5\times10^{5}\,\text{V\,m}^{-1} (d) 1.5×106 V m−11.5\times10^{6}\,\text{V\,m}^{-1}
