If the aforementioned capacitor is connected across a 6.0 V6.0 \text{ V} battery, determine the net charge appearing on one of the coated surfaces.

Options

  1. A4.2 nC4.2 \text{ nC}
  2. B6.4 nC6.4 \text{ nC}
  3. C2.1 nC2.1 \text{ nC}
  4. D8.5 nC8.5 \text{ nC}

Correct answer

A. 4.2 nC4.2 \text{ nC}

Step-by-step solution

The capacitance of the parallel-plate capacitor formed by the coated surfaces is given by:

C=Kε0AdC = \dfrac{K \varepsilon_0 A}{d}

Using the standard parameters associated with this problem context (area A=100 cm2A = 100 \text{ cm}^2, thickness d=1 mmd = 1 \text{ mm}, and dielectric constant K=8K = 8):

C=8×8.854×10−12×100×10−410−3C = \dfrac{8 \times 8.854 \times 10^{-12} \times 100 \times 10^{-4}}{10^{-3}}

C=7.083×10−10 FC = 7.083 \times 10^{-10} \text{ F}

When the capacitor is connected across a 6.0 V6.0 \text{ V} battery, the net charge appearing on one of the coated surfaces is:

Q=CVQ = CV

Q=(7.083×10−10)×6.0Q = (7.083 \times 10^{-10}) \times 6.0

Q=4.2498×10−9 CQ = 4.2498 \times 10^{-9} \text{ C}

Q≈4.2 nCQ \approx 4.2 \text{ nC}

Answer: 4.2 nC4.2 \text{ nC}
