Question 9
FThe Figure shows two parallel metal plates connected to a power supply.
The left-hand plate is positively charged and the right-hand plate is negatively charged.
Figure
a.[3]
Describe the electric field between the plates.
b.[1]
State what the field pattern between the plates shows about the strength of the field.
c.[2]
A small positively charged dust particle is placed at D.
State the direction of the force on the dust particle.
Give a reason for your answer.
d.[2]
Describe how the electric field around an isolated positive point charge is different from the electric field between the plates.
