An electrostatic voltmeter is constructed with 6 parallel, semicircular fixed plates equal-spaced at 4 mm intervals and 5 interleaved semi-circular movable plates that move in planes midway between the fixed plates, in air. The movement of the movable plates is about an axis through the center of the circles of the plates system, perpendicular to the planes of the plates. The instrument is spring-controlled. If the radius of the movable plates is 4 cm, calculate the spring constant if 10 kV corresponds to a full-scale deflection of 100°. Neglect fringing, edge effects and plate thickness.
