PHY 102 ELECTROSTATICS Objective Question

Question

For two parallel oppositely charged sheets separated by a distance 'd', what is the relationship between the electric field (E) and the potential difference (V) between the sheets?
Options
A E = Vd
B V = E/d
C E = V/d
Correct Answer
D E = d/V
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The document states, 'In this case, since the electric field is constant, it is given as E = V/d, so that V = Ed' (page 19, 'The Electric Field between two Parallel Oppositely Charged Sheets' section).

Hint

Recall the formula relating electric field strength and potential difference for a uniform field.
