Finding potential between plates

[matt72lsu]

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!

Hi matt72lsu!

Voltage is electric potential difference.

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