Q2) Consider a capacitor consisting of two parallel conducting plates, 1 and 2, separation a, with a dielectric material of constant relative permittivity ε between the plates. Plate 1 is in the z = a plane and is held at a fixed potential V1, whereas plate 2 is in the z = 2a plane and is held at the fixed potential V2. The plates are so large compared to their separation that the electric field between them can be considered to depend only on z. Between the plates there is a free charge density where K is a constant.
i) Show that the potential in the region a < z < 2a is,
ii) Hence determine the electric field E in the region a < z < 2a between the plates.
