Determine the rate at which the electric field changes between the round plates of a capacitor, 8.0 cm in diameter, if the plates are spaced 1.4 mm apart and the voltage across them is changing at a rate of 110 V/s .

Solution:

The relation between the potential difference and the electric field between the plates of the parallel plate capacitor is given by :

[tex]$E=\frac{V}{D}$[/tex]

Differentiating on both the sides with respect to time, we get

[tex]$\frac{dE}{dt}=\frac{1}{D}\frac{dV}{dt}$[/tex]

Therefore, the rate of the electric field changes between the plates of the parallel plate capacitor is given by :

[tex]$\frac{dE}{dt}=\frac{1}{D}\frac{dV}{dt}$[/tex]

      [tex]$=\frac{1}{1.4 \times 10^{-3}} \times 110$[/tex]

      [tex]$=7.85 \times 10^4$[/tex]  V/m-s
