question 17

Multiple Choice

• A) the field is parallel to the surfaces
• B) the field is perpendicular to the surfaces going from the 25 V surface to the 33 V surface
• C) the field is perpendicular to the surfaces going from the 33 V surface to the 25 V surface
• D) the field makes clockwise circles viewed from the 33 V surface
• E) the field makes clockwise circles viewed from the 25 V surface
