Answer

(a) $ E = 2*10^{5} NC^{-1}$ $ V = 200v$ (b) $E= 2*10^{5} NC^{-1}$ $ V = 400v$

Work Step by Step

Area of the plate $ = A = 2.00cm *2.00cm =4.00 cm^{2} =4*10^{-4}m$ $q = 0.708*10^{-9}c$ (a) $ d= 1.00 mm = 10^{-3}m$ $ E = \frac{σ}{ε_{0}} = \frac{q/A}{ε_{0}} =\frac{q}{A*ε_{0}}NC^{-1}$ $ E =\frac{0.708*10^{-9}}{4*10^{-4} * 8.85*10^{-12}}NC^{-1}$ $ E = 2*10^{5} NC^{-1}$ $ V = \vec E. vec d = E*d = 2*10^{5} * 10^{-3} v= 200 v$ (b) $ d= 2.00 mm = 2*10^{-3}m$ Similarly $E= 2*10^{5} NC^{-1}$ $ V = E*d = 2*10^{5} *2* 10^{-3} v= 400 v$
