Consider the two parallel plates shown below containing equal and opposite charges. The top plate is the positively charged plate. The potential difference between the plates is 20 V, and they are 0.50 m apart. Point A is a point in space 0.10 m above the bottom plate. Points B and C lie on a line 0.15 m below the top plate.

In the space below the figure, answer the following questions.

Calculate the potential difference between points A and C. Show your work and explain your reasoning.

Compare the strength of the electric field at point A to the strength of the electric field at point B. Use the back or attach a second sheet if necessary
