A parallel-plate capacitor is made of plates 1 m square and has a separation of 1 mm. The space between the plates is filled with dielectric of εr = 25.0. If 1 k V potential difference is applied to the plates, find the force squeezing the plates together

Answer»

F = − (1/2)ε0εr AE2 newton 

Now E = V/d = 1000/1 × 10−3 = 10−6 V/m

∴ F = - 1/2ε0εr 

AE2 = 1/2 x 8.854 x 10-12 x 25 x 1 x (106)2 = - 1.1 x 10-4N
