How is the electric field between the two plates of a parallel plate capacitor?(a) Zero(b) Uniform(c) Maximum(d) MinimumThe question was posed to me in unit test.The question is from Parallel Plate Capacitor topic in division Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance of Physics – Class 12

Answer»

The correct answer is (b) Uniform

Easiest explanation: The DIRECTION of the electric field is from the positive to the negative PLATE. In the inner region, between the TWO capacitor PLATES, the electric fields due to the two charged plates add up. HENCE, the field is uniform throughout.
