Answer

a) $Q=1.6nC$ (b) As Q is inversely proportional to separation d, so the answer to part(a) will decrease if the separation is increased. c) $Q=7.8\times 10^{-10}C$

Work Step by Step

(a) We know that $Q=CV$ $Q=\frac{\epsilon_{\circ}AV}{d}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $Q=\frac{8.85\times 10^{-12}(0.0066)(12)}{0.45\times 10^{-3}}$ $Q=1.6nC$ (b) As Q is inversely proportional to separation d, so the answer to part(a) will decrease if the separation is increased. (c) We know that $Q=CV$ $Q=\frac{\epsilon_{\circ}AV}{d}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $Q=\frac{8.85\times 10^{-12}(0.0066)(12)}{0.90\times 10^{-3}}$ $Q=7.8\times 10^{-10}C$
