I've been asked to complete electric field E and potential V inside and outside of a simple plate capacitor (the plates are infinitely large and the distance between the two plates is d.)
My working is as follows.
Inside the cap-
[tex]E = \frac{ \sigma } { \epsilon_{o} }[/tex]
then potential V=Ed
Outside the cap
E=0
V=0
does this seem to cover the question, or am I missing something?
Also I need to plot the lines of the electric field between a small point charge (+) and a large metal plate (charge -)...
for this I'm guessing the lines of the charge leave the charge going straight to the plate, correct?
