To find the electric charge on the plate, we first need to calculate the electric field at the surface of the plate.

Given:
- Electric potential, V = 12 V
- Distance from the plate, r = 2 cm = 0.02 m

We can use the formula relating electric potential to electric field:
V = E \times r
where,
V = Electric potential
E = Electric field
r = Distance from the plate

Solving for the electric field:
E = \frac{V}{r} = \frac{12}{0.02} = 600 V/m

The electric field, E, is related to the charge density, \sigma , on the plate by:
E = \frac{\sigma}{\epsilon_0}
where,
\sigma = Charge density
\epsilon_0 = Permittivity of free space (8.85 \times 10^{-12} \, C^2/Nm^2)

Solving for charge density:
\sigma = E \times \epsilon_0 = 600 \times 8.85 \times 10^{-12} = 5.31 \times 10^{-9} C/m^2

To find the total charge on the plate, we need to multiply the charge density by the area of the plate:

Given:
- Plate width, w = 16 cm = 0.16 m
- Plate length, l = 200 mm = 0.2 m

The area of the plate, A, is:
A = w \times l = 0.16 \times 0.2 = 0.032 \, m^2

Finally, the total charge, Q, on the plate is:
Q = \sigma \times A = 5.31 \times 10^{-9} \times 0.032 = 1.7 \times 10^{-10} \, C

\boxed{Q = 1.7 \times 10^{-10} \, C}
