PHY 102 Gauss's Law and Electrostatic Fields Objective Question

Question

For a uniform electric field E between parallel plates separated by distance d, what is the potential difference V?
Options
A V = Ed
Correct Answer
B V = E/d
C V = d/E
D V = E²d
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

For a uniform field, the potential difference V = Ed, where the positive plate is at higher potential.

Hint

Voltage = field × distance.
