Answer

$3.9\times10^4V/m$

Work Step by Step

Equation 17–4a tells us that the voltage difference V between the plates is the electric field strength, multiplied by the separation distance, so V = Ed. Use that with equation 17–7. $$Q=CV=CEd$$ $$E=\frac{Q}{Cd}=\frac{62\times10^{-6}C}{(0.80\times10^{-6}F)(0.0020m)}$$ $$=3.9\times10^4V/m$$
