The electric potential in a charged parallel plate capacitor
A. Is the same throughout the capacitor
B. Increases from the positive plate to the negative plate
C. Decreases from the positive plate to the negative plate
D. Does not exist
Answer : (C) Decreases from the positive plate to the negative plate.
The electric potential inside a capacitor increases linearly from the negative to the positive plate.
Since, Differential work to move charge q through a potential difference dV is dW = q dV = -q E dx
- dV/dx = E
If E is constant,
V = V0 - E x
