The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the magnitude of the electric field inside a dielectric slab placed between two parallel plates with different charge densities. Let's break down the solution step by step. ### Step 1: Identify the Charge Densities We have two plates: - Plate 1 has a charge density \( \sigma_1 = +2 \, \text{mC/m}^2 = 2 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{C/m}^2 \) - Plate 2 has a charge density \( \sigma_2 = -4 \, \text{mC/m}^2 = -4 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{C/m}^2 \) ### Step 2: Calculate the Net Charge Density The net charge density \( \sigma \) between the plates can be calculated as: \[ \sigma = \sigma_1 + |\sigma_2| = 2 \times 10^{-3} + 4 \times 10^{-3} = 6 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{C/m}^2 \] ### Step 3: Use the Formula for Electric Field in a Dielectric The electric field \( E \) inside a dielectric material can be calculated using the formula: \[ E = \frac{\sigma}{\varepsilon} \] where \( \varepsilon \) is the permittivity of the dielectric material, given by: \[ \varepsilon = K \varepsilon_0 \] Here, \( K \) is the dielectric constant (which is 2 in this case) and \( \varepsilon_0 \) is the permittivity of free space, given as: \[ \varepsilon_0 = \frac{80}{9} \times 10^{-12} \, \text{N m}^2/\text{C}^2 \] ### Step 4: Calculate the Permittivity Now, we can calculate \( \varepsilon \): \[ \varepsilon = 2 \times \left(\frac{80}{9} \times 10^{-12}\right) = \frac{160}{9} \times 10^{-12} \, \text{N m}^2/\text{C}^2 \] ### Step 5: Substitute Values into the Electric Field Formula Now, substitute \( \sigma \) and \( \varepsilon \) into the electric field formula: \[ E = \frac{6 \times 10^{-3}}{\frac{160}{9} \times 10^{-12}} = 6 \times 10^{-3} \times \frac{9}{160} \times 10^{12} \] ### Step 6: Simplify the Expression Calculating the above expression: \[ E = \frac{54 \times 10^{9}}{160} = 0.3375 \times 10^{11} \, \text{N/C} \] ### Step 7: Final Result To express this in the required format: \[ E = 3.375 \times 10^{10} \, \text{N/C} \] ### Step 8: Convert to the Required Units Since the problem asks for the answer in \( 10^{11} \, \text{N/C} \): \[ E = 0.3375 \times 10^{11} \, \text{N/C} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the magnitude of the electric field inside the dielectric is: \[ E \approx 0.3375 \times 10^{11} \, \text{N/C} \] ---
