The electric field strength in the space between two closely spaced parallel disks is 1.0 10^5 n/c. this field is the result of transferring 3.9 109 electrons from one disk to the other. what is thediameter of the disks?

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the capacitance in the disks, the difference of the potential and the load in the disc.

The capacitance can be expressed in terms of the Area, the permeability constant and the diameter:

Where,

= Permeability constant

A = Cross-sectional Area

d = Diameter

Potential difference between the two disks,

V = Ed

Where,

E = Electric field

d = diameter

Q = Charge on the disk equal to

Through the value found and the expression given for capacitance and potential, we can define the electric charge as

Re-arranging the equation to find the diameter of the disks, the equation will be:

Replacing,

Therefore the diameter of the disks is 0.03m

the reason is because the moon has some form of gravity, and that gravity pulls the ocean tides.
