A constant potential difference is applied across the plates of a parallel-plate capacitor. Neglecting any edge effects, the electric field inside the capacitor is:
a) constant
b) Varying as one over r squared
c) Decreasing as one moves from the positive to the negative plate
d) zero
Ans:
Across the plates of a parallel-plate capacitor a constant potential difference is applied. Neglecting any edge effects, the electric field inside the capacitor is constant.
