Problem
A test charge is located inside the electric field produced by a pair of oppositely charged metal plates.
Which of the following combinations best describes how the force on the test charge and the electrical potential energy ( Ep ) of the test charge vary with its distance from one of the plates?
(1) Force = constant; Ep = constant
(2) Force = constant; Ep = proportional to distance from one plate
(3) Force = proportional to distance from one plate; Ep = constant
(4) Force = proportional to distance from one plate; Ep = proportional to distance from one plate
