The figure 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 +32V and the plate on the right is at a potential of 0V. The plates are a distance 8cm apart and the dashed lines are spaced equally 2cm apart.
1. Evaluate the following statements appropriately:
greater than equal to less than The electric potential at point A is ____ the electric potential at point D.
greater than equal to less than The electric potential energy of an electron at point B is _____ the electric potential energy of an electron at point A.
greater than equal to less than The electric potential at point A is ____ the electric potential at point B.
greater than equal to less than The electric potential energy of a proton at point C is _____ the electric potential energy of an proton at point A.
2. What is the electric potential at point D?
3. What is the magnitude of the electric field at point B?
