A flat plate is positively charged and a curved plate is negatively charged. Which diagram shows the electric field lines between the two plates?
This question uses a diagram from the original paper, which isn't shown here. Open the full paper from the past papers archive to see it.
Adiagram showing electric field lines between a positive flat plate and a negative curved plate, diverging from the flat plate.
Bdiagram showing parallel electric field lines between a positive flat plate and a negative curved plate.
Cdiagram showing electric field lines between a positive flat plate and a negative curved plate, converging to the centre of the curved plate.
Ddiagram showing electric field lines between a positive flat plate and a negative curved plate, diverging away from the centre of the curved plate.
✓ Correct answer
C: diagram showing electric field lines between a positive flat plate and a negative curved plate, converging to the centre of the curved plate.
