Formula: Plate Capacitor
Electric force on a charge in a plate capacitor

Electric force

Unit
Force acting on a charge \(q\) when it is placed between the two plates of the capacitor. The force occurs because the negative charge is attracted to the positive capacitor plate and repelled by the negative capacitor plate.

Electric charge

Unit
This is the charge (e.g. from an electron or proton) placed inside the plate capacitor.

Voltage

Unit
Voltage applied between the two electrically charged capacitor plates. This quantity is a measure of how large the charge difference is between the two plates.

Distance

Unit
This is the distance between the two capacitor plates (also called electrodes).
