Answer:
Explanation:
Capacitance of the capacitor
C = ε₀ A / d
(8.85 x 10⁻¹² x .25² x 10⁻⁴) / 1 x 10⁻³
C = .553125 x 10⁻¹³ F
Charge = capacitance x volt
= .553125 x 10⁻¹³ x 1.5
= .8296875 x 10⁻¹³ C
no of electrons
= charge / charge on one electron
= .8296875 10⁻¹³/ 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹
= 5.2 x 10^5
Answer:
D. 5.2 x 10^5
Explanation:
Given:
voltage of the battery connected,
sides of square capacitor,
separation between the plates,
Now the total charge on the parallel plate capacitor is given as:
where:
Now the no. of electrons:
where:
