Question

Between two parallel oppositely charged sheets separated by a distance d, the electric field E is described as _________ and related to the potential difference V between the plates by the equation _________.
Options
A Non-uniform; <i>E = Vd</i>.
B Uniform; <i>E = V/d</i>.
Correct Answer
C Zero; <i>E = 0</i>.
D Constant; <i>E = d/V</i>.
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Page 19, under 'The Electric Field between two Parallel Oppositely Charged Sheets', states: 'In this case, since the electric field is constant, it is given as E = V/d'. A constant field is a uniform field.

Hint

Refer to equation 3.9 on page 19 and the description of the field between parallel plates.
