Two metal plates separated by a small distance are given opposite charges. Three possible points are available to place a small positive charge ++++ -Point 1 -Point 2 -Point 3 At which location would a small positive charge be placed in order for it to have the maximum electric potential energy? OA All three points would have the same electric potential energy because the electric field is constant throughout the two plates OB Point 2 would have the maximum because that is halfway between the two charged plates OC Point 3 would have the maximum because that is where the positive charge is attracted to OD Point 1 would have the maximum because that is where the positive charge will gain the most kinetic energy if it is released Two metal plates separated by a small distance are given opposite charges.
