A parallel plate capacitor has an electric field of `10^(5)V//m` between the plates. If the charge on the capacitor plate is `1muC`, then force on each capacitor plate is-

A

0.5 N

B

0.05 N

C

0.005 N

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`E=10^5V//m`
Force (F) `=q(E/2) = 1 xx10^(-6)xx(10^5)/2 = 0.05N`
