Two conductive plates are positioned close to one another without touching each other. The top plate is positioned horizontally and the bottom plate angled at 30 degrees down to the right ie. the tips of the plates are close to one another on the left hand side and futher apart on the right hand side. The top plate is connected to a positive dc-supply of 10V and the bottom plate is connected to 0V. Draw at least 5 equipotential lines and 5 electric field lines spanning the whole area between the plates. Also add two lines on each side just outside of the structure. Write down the values of the potentials of the equipotential lines next to them.

rectangular plate has a voltage of +180V and another rectangular plate(parrallel to plate to the first plate) has a voltage of -5V. Determine the field strength at any point between these two plates? the distance of separation of the plates is finite, say 8.6mm.

Two parallel conducting plates are 0.1 m apart and carry equal and opposite charges. They are large enough relative to the 0.1 m separation distance that we can assume the electric field between them is uniform. The potential difference between them is 500 V. An electron is released from rest at the negative plate. a) Draw the electric field lines between the plates, indicating the sign of the charge on each plate and which plate is at the higher electrostatic potential. b) What is the magnitude of the electric field between the plates? c) What is the change in potential energy of the system comprising the plates and the electron when the electron moves from the negative plate to the positive plate? d) How much work is done by the electric field on the electron as it makes this trip? e) What is the electron’s kinetic energy when it reaches the positive plate?
