I'm a little lost when you say "The electric field is connected to the surface charge density." Also, I can see how the field lines can curve, but near the edges, they wouldn't be circular.

The field lines are ⊥ to the surface... so they would curve.

Do you mean that since the potential is same throughout a surface, I only need to find out the field at a certain point?

The only thing given is the information on the figure. Yes, two metal plates.

Homework Statement Two plates of equal area: length b, width w On one side, the plates are a distance d away from each other, on the other side, a distance d+a Homework Equations No equations given. Using E= kq/r^2, V=-∫E*dl The Attempt at a Solution E = kq ∫∫dxdz/(x^2 +...
