Question

For closely spaced parallel plates with potential difference V and plate separation d, what is the relationship for the magnitude of the electric field E between them?
Options
A <i>E</i> = <i>Vd</i>
B <i>E</i> = <i>V</i> / <i>d</i>
Correct Answer
C <i>E</i> = <i>d</i> / <i>V</i>
D <i>E</i> = <i>V</i> / <i>d</i>²
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Page 12 states: 'For parallel plates, V = Ed'. Rearranging this equation to solve for E gives E = V/d. This relationship is valid for a uniform electric field.

Hint

Consider the units: Electric field is measured in N/C or V/m. This can help you determine the correct formula.
