What is the relationship between potential difference between the plates and electric field between the plates ?

How do you relate potential difference and electric potential energy ?

Think in terms of conservation of energy .

OR

Use Dimensional Analysis

Electric potential energy = qV= kqQ/d

Is this equal to the kinetic energy K?

Electric potential energy = qV= kqQ/d

No , this is for a point charge .

Sorry, that's the only formula I know. Can you please tell me? Thank you!

work done equals to change in KE

so Eqd=K

E=K/qd
