Electric Potential and Capacitance

Capacitor A capacitor consists of two metal electrodes which can be given equal and opposite charges. If the electrodes have charges Q and – Q, then there is an electric field between them which originates on Q and terminates on – Q.There is a potential difference between the electrodes which is proportional to Q. Q = CΔV The capacitance is a measure of the capacity …

Electric Field | Fundamentals | Capacitor Guide

The electric field strength in a capacitor is directly proportional to the voltage applied and inversely proportional to the distance between the plates. This factor limits the maximum rated voltage of a capacitor, since the electric field strength must not exceed the breakdown field strength of the dielectric used in the capacitor.

Electric Fields: Parallel Plates

Recall that the direction of an electric field is defined as the direction that a positive test charge would move. So in this case, the electric field would point from the positive plate to the negative plate.

Edit: Also, another problem I noticed was that even if we remove the negative plate from the capacitor and then apply Gauss''s Law in the same manner, the field still comes out to be $sigma/epsilon_0$ which is clearly wrong since the negative plate contributes to the field. So, maybe the problem is in the application of Gauss''s Law.

Electric field in a parallel plate capacitor

A capacitor is a device used in electric and electronic circuits to store electrical energy as an electric potential difference (or an electric field) consists of two electrical conductors (called plates), typically plates, cylinder or sheets, separated by an insulating layer (a void or a dielectric material).A dielectric material is a material that does not allow current to flow and can ...

Because a conductor is an equipotential, it can replace any equipotential surface. For example, in Figure (PageIndex{1}) a charged spherical conductor can replace the point charge, and the electric field and potential surfaces outside of it will be unchanged, confirming the contention that a spherical charge distribution is equivalent to a point charge at its center.
