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 +52V and the plate on the right is at a potential of 0V. The plates are a distance 12 cm apart and the dashed lines are spaced equally 3 cm apart. Evaluate the following statements appropriately: The electric potential at point B is ___ the electric potential at point E. 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 A is ___ the electric potential energy of an proton at point C. The electric potential at point A is ___ the electric potential at point B. What is the electric potential at point F? What is the magnitude of the electric field at point C?Explanation / Answer
same
less than
greater than
greater than
--------------------
E = 52 / 0.12 V/m
V_F = (52/0.12) (0.03) = 13 Volt
---------------
electric field = 52 / 0.12 = 433.3 V/m
