Physics 2022 JAMB Past Questions - Question 35: Calculate the electric yield intensity between two plates of potential difference 6.5V when separated by a distance of 35cm

Correct Answer

A

Explanation

To calculate the electric field intensity between two plates of potential difference, you can use the formula:

\[ E = \frac{V}{d} \]

Where:
\( E \) = Electric field intensity (in volts per meter, V/m)
\( V \) = Potential difference (in volts, V)
\( d \) = Distance between the plates (in meters, m)

Given:
\( V = 6.5 \, V \)
\( d = 35 \, cm = 0.35 \, m \)

Now, let's calculate the electric field intensity:
\[ E = \frac{6.5 \, V}{0.35 \, m} \]
\[ E = 18.57 \, V/m \]

So, the electric field intensity between the two plates is \( 18.57 \, V/m \).
