-Which of the arrows shown in Figure 19-12 represents the correct direction of the electric field between the two metal plates?

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The electric field between two oppositely charged metal plates points from the positive plate to the negative plate. In Figure 19-12, the positive plate is on the left and the negative plate is on the right, so the electric field points from left to right. Arrow A points from left to right, so it represents the correct direction of the electric field.
