For a pair of oppositely charged parallel plates, the negatively charged plate is at a lower electric potential than the positively charged one by an amount $\Delta$V.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a pair of oppositely charged parallel plates, the electric potential decreases as one moves from the positively charged plate to the negatively charged plate, meaning the negatively charged plate is indeed at a lower electric potential than the positively charged one by an amount $\Delta V$. This is because electric potential is higher near positive charges and lower near negative charges.
