Question

For parallel plates, what is the shape of the equipotential lines and electric field lines

E: lines parallel to the plates; equipotential lines: straight lines from the negative to positive plate

E: lines parallel to the plates; equipotential lines: circles parallel to the plates    

E: straight lines from the negative to positive plate; equipotential lines: straight lines from the negative to positive plate

E: circles parallel to the plates; equipotential lines: lines parallel to the plates

E: circles parallel to the plates; equipotential lines: circles parallel to the plates

E: straight lines from the negative to positive plate; equipotential lines: circles parallel to the plates

E: circles parallel to the plates; equipotential lines: straight lines from the negative to positive plate

E: lines parallel to the plates; equipotential lines: lines parallel to the plates

E: straight lines from the negative to positive plate; equipotential lines: lines parallel to the plates

e) An electron is moved slowly from the negative plate to the positive plate. As the electron approaches the positive plate:

the magnitude of the force on the electron increases; the direction of the force on the electron is unchanged

the magnitude of the force on the electron decreases; the direction of the force on the electron changes    

the magnitude of the force on the electron is unchanged; the direction of the force on the electron is unchanged

the magnitude of the force on the electron increases; the direction of the force on the electron changes

the magnitude of the force on the electron is unchanged; the direction of the force on the electron changes

the magnitude of the force on the electron decreases; the direction of the force on the electron is unchanged


Please help. Thanks.

Explanation / Answer

lines parallel to the plates; equipotential lines: straight lines from the negative to positive plate

e)the magnitude of the force on the electron is unchanged; the direction of the force on the electron is unchanged
