The terminals of a 100 V battery are connected to two large, parallel, horizontal plates 1.0 cm apart. The resulting charges on the plates produce an electric field E in the region between the plates that is very nearly uniform and has magnitude E = 3.0×104 N/C. Suppose the lower plate has positive charge, so that the electric field is vertically upward, as shown in (Figure 1). (The thin pink arrows represent the electric field.)
