Electric Field of Parallel Plates

030 - Electric Field of Parallel Plates

In this video Paul Andersen explains how the electric field between oppositely and equally charged plates is uniform as long as you are far from the edge. The strength of the electric field can be determined by either the charge of the plate and the area or the voltage and separation. Charged particles moving through this electric field act as projectile motion.
