A pair of parallel plates is separated by a distance of 2 cm and is connected to a 6 V battery. The magnitude of the electric field between the two plates is |E1 | . A second pair of parallel plates, identical to the first, is separated by a distance of 3 cm and is connected to a 12 V battery. The magnitude of the electric field between these two plates is |E2 |.

Select one:

a.

|E2|=|E1|

b.

|E2|=|E1|

c.

|E₂|= 6|E₁|

d.

|E₂|=|E₁|
