WAEC Physics 2023 Objective — Question 41

Which of the following statements about the properties of the electric field produced by charged parallel plates is not correct?

• A. The electric field in the region outside the parallel plates is zero, except for the edge effects
• B. The electric field is uniform everywhere in the space between the parallel plates
• C. The magnitude of the electric field strength at any point between the plates, except near the edges, depends on the magnitude of the charge on each plateCorrect
• D. The magnitude of the electric field strength at any point between the plates is directly proportional to the magnitude of the charge on each plate
