A parallel-plate capacitor consists of two large flat plates
separated by some distance. One plate is postively charged and
the other is negatively charged. Suppose now that a proton
is placed between the plates. To obtain the largest
electric potential energy, we should place the proton
- near the positive plate.
- near the negative plate.
- anywhere we like, the electric potential energy will be the same.
- need more information.
- I'll tell you where you can put your proton.
