Chapter 23, Problem 40E(choose chapter or problem)
Electrical Sensitivity of Sharks. Certain sharks can detect an electric field as weak as \(1.0 \mu \mathrm{V} / \mathrm{m}\). To grasp how weak this field is, if you wanted to produce it between two parallel metal plates by connecting an ordinary 1.5-V AA battery across these plates, how far apart would the plates have to be?
