Construct a parallel$-$plate capacitor where a second line of charges equal in size and opposite in charge are placed below the line of positive charges. Examine what the $$E$-$field$$ is like between the plates using a sensor$.$ Keep the sensor at least $2$ little grid marks away from the charges. Examine only about the middle $4$ tick marks

How does the magnitude of the electric field vary inside $($but not near the ends$)$ of the capacitor?

Chose these answers from the first $3$ choices

How does the direction of the electric field vary inside $($but not near the ends$)$ of the capacitor?

Chose these answers from the first $3$Is zero choices

Question $11$ Answer

a$.$

stays straight from the positive charge to the negative charge

b$.$

Roughly constant $($varies less than $+/-20$ V$/$m$)$

c$.$

stays straight from the negative charge to the positive charge

d$.$

Increases linearly

e$.$

Is perpendicular to the direction between the charges.

f$.$

Is zero
