An electric field in 3 parallel plates refers to the distribution of electric charges across three flat, parallel conducting plates. It is created by applying a voltage difference between the plates, causing the charges to move and create an electric field between them.
The electric field strength in this system can be calculated by dividing the voltage difference between the plates by the distance between them. This can also be expressed as the ratio of the electric potential difference to the distance between the plates.
The electric field in 3 parallel plates is affected by the distance between the plates, the voltage difference applied, and the material of the plates. The distance and voltage difference directly impact the strength of the electric field, while the material of the plates can affect the distribution of charges and the overall behavior of the electric field.
If the plates are not parallel, the electric field will still exist between them, but it will not be as uniform as it would be in a system with parallel plates. The electric field lines will be distorted and the strength may vary in different regions between the plates.
3 parallel plate electric fields have many practical applications, such as in particle accelerators, capacitors, and electron microscopes. They are also used in electrostatic precipitators to remove particles from gas streams, and in deflection systems for cathode ray tubes.
