Question

3. What conclusion can you make about the electric field strength between two parallel plates? Explain your answer referencing Photo 2.

Answer 1

Answer:

From the relation above we can conclude that the  as the distance between the two plate increases the electric field strength decreases

Explanation:

I cannot  find any attached photo, but we can proceed anyways theoretically.

The electric field strength (E) at any point in an electric field is the force experienced by a unit positive charge (Q) at that point

i.e

$E=\frac{F}{Q}$

But the force F

$F= \frac{kQ1Q2}{r^2}$

But the electric field intensity due to a point charge Q at a distance r meters away is given by

$E= \frac{\frac{kQ1Q2}{r^2}}{Q} \\\\\E= \frac{Q1}{4\pi er^2 }$

From the relation above we can conclude that the  as the distance between the two plate increases the electric field strength decreases
