Two large parallel metal plates are $1.5 \mathrm{~cm}$ apart and have charges of equal magnitudes but opposite signs on their facing surfaces. Take the potential of the negative plate to be zero. If the potential halfway between the plates is then $+5.0 \mathrm{~V}$, what is the electric field in the region between the plates?
Added by John K.
Step 1
We know that the potential difference between the plates is linear, so if the potential halfway between the plates is $+5.0 \mathrm{~V}$, then the potential at the positive plate must be $+10.0 \mathrm{~V}$. Show more…
