Problem

A parallel plate capacitor with plates of area 1 m21\,\text{m}^2 each, are at a separation of 0.1 m0.1\,\text{m}. If the electric field between the plates is 100 N/C100\,\text{N/C}, the magnitude of charge on each plate is : (Take ϵ0=8.85×10−12 C2N⋅m2\epsilon_0 = 8.85 \times 10^{-12}\,\frac{\text{C}^2}{\text{N} \cdot \text{m}^2} ) (1) 7.85×10−10 C7.85 \times 10^{-10} \text{ C} (2) 6.85×10−10 C6.85 \times 10^{-10} \text{ C} (3) 8.85×10−10 C8.85 \times 10^{-10} \text{ C} (4) 9.85×10−10 C9.85 \times 10^{-10} \text{ C}
