Back to 19.2 Electric Potential in a Uniform Electric Field

19.2 Exercise 14

Avg difficulty 2.5

The electric field strength between two parallel conducting plates separated by 4.00 cm is 7.50×104 V/m7 . \text{50} \times \text{10}^{4} \text{ V}/\text{m}. (a) What is the potential difference between the plates? (b) The plate with the lowest potential is taken to be at zero volts. What is the potential 1.00 cm from that plate (and 3.00 cm from the other)?
