Three pairs of parallel plates have the same plate separation and potentials on

Question

Three pairs of parallel plates have the same plate separation and potentials on each plate as indicated in the drawing. The electric field, E, is uniform between each pair of plates and perpendicular to them. Rank the magnitude of E between the plates, from highest to lowest.


a) The three magnitudes are equal.
b) 1 > 2 > 3
c) 3 > 2 > 1
d) The magnitudes for 3 and 2 are equal and greater than the magnitude for 1.
e) The magnitude for 2 is greater than that for 1 and 3, which are the same.
