Problem

The plates of a parallel-plate capacitor in vacuum are 5.00 mm5.00\,\text{mm} apart and have area 2.00 m22.00\,\text{m}^2. A potential difference of 10,000 V10{,}000\,\text{V} is applied across the capacitor. Compute: (1) The capacitance. (2) The charge on each plate. (3) The magnitude of the electric field in the space between them.
