Back to 19.2 Electric Potential in a Uniform Electric Field

19.2 Exercise 3

Avg difficulty 2.5

Two plates are lying horizontally, but stacked with one 10.0 cm above the other. If the upper plate is held at +100 V, what is the magnitude and direction of the electric field between the plates if the lower is held at +50.0 V? -50.0 V?

  1. 500 V/m, 1500 V/m, down
  2. 500 V/m, 1500 V/m, up
  3. 1500 V/m, 500 V/m, down
  4. 1500 V/m, 500 V/m, up
