One of the formulas I came across while doing problems with simple parallel plate capacitors was E = V/d, where E is the magnitude of the electric field between the plates, V is the potential difference between the plates, and d is the separation of the plates. I'm wondering where this formula is derived from.
I know that the electric field between the two plates of a capacitor is constant (except near the edges), but am not sure how that would play into the explanation.
