Physics

Two 10-cm-diameter electrodes 0.52 cm apart form aparallel-plate capacitor. The electrodes are attached by metalwires to the terminals of a 20 Vbattery.

1--------

What are a) the charge on each electrode, b) the electric fieldstrength inside the capacitor, and c) the potential differencebetween the electrodes while the capacitor is attached to thebattery?

2---------

What are a) the charge on each electrode, b) the electric fieldstrength inside the capacitor, and c) the potential differencebetween the electrodes after insulating handles are used to pullthe electrodes away from each other until they are 1.0 cm apart?The electrodes remain connected to the battery during thisprocess.

3----------

What are a) the charge on each electrode, b) the electric fieldstrength inside the capacitor, and c) the potential differencebetween the electrodes after the original electrodes (not themodified electrodes of parts D-F) are expandeduntil they are 20 cm in diameter while remaining connected to thebattery?
