A parallel-plate capacitor having plates 6.00cmapart is connected across the terminals of a 12.0Vbattery.

A. Being as quantitative as you can, describe the location of the equipotential surface that is at a potential of 6.00V relative to the potential of the negative plate. Avoid the edges of the plates.

B. Do the same for the equipotential surface that is at 2.00V relative to the negative plate.

C. What is the potential gradient between the plates?
