Between two large parallel plates with no charge in between, the solution of Laplace's equation gives a potential varying

  • A.as the logarithm of the distance
  • B.as the inverse of the distance
  • C.as the square of the distance
  • D.linearly with distance

Answer: D

In one Cartesian dimension the equation reduces to a vanishing second derivative, whose general solution is a straight line. The corresponding field is the constant slope of that line, which is the uniform field between the plates.
