The electric potential Vin the space between two flat parallel plates 1 and 2 is given (in volts) by `V= 1500 x^(2)`, where x (in meters) is the perpendicular distance from plate 1. At x = 1.8 cm, (a) what is the magnitude of the electric field and (b) is the field directed toward or away from plate 1?

Explanation

To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the given information about the electric potential and apply the necessary physics concepts.

### Step 1: Understand the given potential function
The electric potential \( V \) in the space between the two flat parallel plates is given by:
\[ V = 1500 x^2 \]
where \( x \) is the perpendicular distance from plate 1.
