Answer:
Explanation:
Electric field between plates of a parallel plate capacitor is uniform .
In a uniform electric field , relation between electric field and potential gradient is as follows
electric field = potential gradient [ E = – dV / dl ]
in the given case ,
dV = 51 V ,
dl = 4 cm
= 4 x 10⁻² m
E = 51 / 4 x 10⁻²
= 12.75 x 10² V / m
= 1275 V / m
