PHY 102 Coulomb's law and Electric Fields Objective Question
Take CBT

Question

If the electric field between two parallel plates is uniform with magnitude Eₓ in the x-direction, and the plates are separated by a distance x, what is the potential difference V between the plates?
Options
A V = Eₓ/x
B V = Eₓx²
C V = Eₓx
Correct Answer
D V = Eₓ+x
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Page 12 states, 'For parallel plates, V = Ed'. In this context, 'd' is the separation 'x', so V = Eₓx.

Hint

The relationship between potential difference and electric field in a uniform field is a product of field strength and distance.
