24. Electric Force & Field; Gauss' Law

Each plate in a parallel-plate capacitor has an area of $12.5{\mathrm{cm}}^2$. and the separation between plates is $0.822\mathrm{mm}$. The magnitude of the charge on each plate is $7.43\text{mC}$. What is the magnitude of the electric field between the plates and inside the metal of the plates?

A water molecule is a dipole. If water were placed in the uniform field between capacitor plates, which of the following would best describe the force and torque experienced by the water molecules?
