Answer:
[tex]1.69\cdot 10^4 N/C[/tex]
Explanation:
The relationship between electric field strength and potential difference is:
[tex]E=\frac{V}{d}[/tex]
where
E is the electric field strength
V is the potential difference
d is the distance between the plates
Here we have
V = 218 V
d = 1.29 cm = 0.0129 m
So, the electric field is
[tex]E=\frac{218 V}{0.0129 m}=16900 N/C = 1.69\cdot 10^4 N/C[/tex]
