Question
The figure belows shows two parallel plates. Assume they are infinite in area (this way we can neglect edge effects). The plate on the left is at a potential of +24V and the plate on the right is at a potential of 0V. The plates are a distance 16cm apart and the dashed lines are spaced equally 4cm apart. Parallel plates with points labelled.
Evaluate the following statements appropriately with greater than, less than, or equal to.
The electric potential at point C is ____ the electric potential at point A.
The electric potential energy of an electron at point A is _____ the electric potential energy of an electron at point C.
The electric potential energy of a proton at point B is _____ the electric potential energy of an proton at point A.
The electric potential at point C is ____ the electric potential at point F.
What is the electric potential at point D?
What is the magnitude of the electric field at point A?
Explanation / Answer
potential at c is less than point A
potential energy at A is greater then point C
electric potential energy of proton at point A is greater then point B because potential energy is w=qv
potential at point D is greater than point F
potential at point D is 6Volt
at point A electric field is 24c*2/m*2
