Thank you We sneak And here's your shmoop du jour

00:05

brought to you by conducting plates which aren't really good

00:08

to eat off unless you're hungry for mac and cheese

00:11

and deep fried tongue your own tone All right well

00:14

two opposite lee charge parallel conducting place or space two

00:17

meters apart If the potential difference between them is sixteen

00:21

volts what's the magnitude of the electric field between them

00:25

i hear a gentle answers right there All right well

00:30

there are three ways to figure the magnitude of the

00:32

electrical field between two charged parallel plates for the first

00:36

way is to use the charges of the plates themselves

00:40

but we don't know the charges so that won't work

00:42

here The second ways use the potential difference and distance

00:46

between the two plates Okay we actually have that info

00:49

so we'll use that method while the third way is

00:52

toe wind are older sister who's already aced the test

00:54

until she figures it out for us that way's efficient

00:58

and doesn't really help us learn So we'll go with

00:59

door number two to figure out the magnitude of the

01:02

field We need to divide the potential difference Be by

01:05

the distance between the plates Well with the potential difference

01:08

of sixteen volts in the distance of two meters We

01:11

find that the magnitude is hate newtons per coolum So

01:15

the right answer is c pretty straight forward right If

01:19

only everything could be this easy But sometimes even making

01:22

mac and cheese out of a box is well just 00:01:24.075 --> [endTime] too much for us to handle
