Question

A manufacturer claims that a carpet will not generate more than 6.0 kVkV of static electricity.

Part A

What magnitude of charge would have to be transferred between a carpet and a shoe for there to be a 6.0-kVkV potential difference between the shoe and the carpet? Assume the shoe and carpet are large sheets of charge separated by a small distance dd = 1.0 mmmm. Suppose that the area of a shoe is 28 cmcm ×× 8.5 cmcm .
