Figure P26.14 is a graph of the electric field between two capacitor plates as a function of distance from the left plate. The distance between the plates is \(d\), the direction of the field is to the right, and a battery is connected to the plates.

(a) Which plate carries a positive charge?

(b) How many slabs of material have been inserted between the plates?

(c) What can you say about the slab(s) inserted?

(d) Make a graph of the electric field between the plates when the slabs between the plates are removed and the battery remains connected.
