Homework Statement



Determine the potential 1.0 mm from the negative plate of a pair of parallel plates separated by 4.0 mm and connected to a 24 V battery.

Homework Equations


w = EPEa - EPEb
v = kq^2/r^2

The Attempt at a Solution


I'm not exactly sure how to start. Can someone tell me if I even have the right equations? Thanks!

Potential between plates

Homework Statement


Determine the potential 1.0 mm from the negative plate of a pair of parallel plates separated by 4.0 mm and connected to a 24-V battery.


Homework Equations


w = EPEa-EPEb
V= kQ^2/r^2

The Attempt at a Solution


I'm not exactly sure what is being asked and not sure if I even have the correct equations? Could someone point me in the right direction? Thanks

Hi matt72lsu! :smile:

Voltage is electric potential difference. :wink:

Two threads merged. Matt, do not multiple post. The Intro Physics forum here is the correct place for your questions.
