Two parallel metal plates, 4.0cm apart, are at electric potentials of 800V and 2000 V. Points X, Y and Z are situated in the space between the plates at distances of 1.0cm, 2.0 cm and 3.0 cm from the lower plate. [Figure 31.1] What is the electric field strength, in Vm⁻¹, at X, Y and Z?
AX: 300, Y: 600, Z: 900
BX: 1100, Y: 1400, Z: 1700
CX: 3.0 × 10⁴, Y: 3.0 × 10⁴, Z: 3.0 × 10⁴
DX: 5.0 × 10⁴, Y: 5.0 × 10⁴, Z: 5.0 × 10⁴
