For the parallel plates mentioned above, the DC power supply is set to 31.5 Volts and the plate on the right is at x = 14 cm. What is the magnitude of the electric field at a point on the x-axis where x = 7.0 cm? Answer with a number in the format ### in Newtons per Coulombs.

Note: The complete question is attached as a file to this solution. The parallel plate mentioned can be seen in this picture attached.

E = 225 N/C

Explanation:

Note: At any point on the parallel plates of a capacitor, the electric field is uniform and equal.

Therefore, Electric field at x = 14 cm equals the electric field at x = 7 cm

V(x) = 31.5 Volts

x = 14 cm = 0.14 m

The magnitude of the electric field at any point between the parallel plate of the capacitor is given by the equation:

E = V(x)/d

E(x = 0.14) = 31.5/0.14

E(x=0.14) = 225 N/C

E(x=0.14) = E(x=0.07) = 225 N/C
