(a) The Ev lines are perpendicular to the plates and uniformevery where betwn the plates. Sketch some of these horiz lines,with the plates vertical. Sorry i diont have draving skill.But you can do it. Follow these.
The plates themselves are equipot surfaces. A conductingsurface is always at the same pot at every point on it.The plate on the left at V = 0 is the firstequipot surface for V = 0.
The second plate at d = 1.70 cm is another equipotsurface with V = 480 V.
We can see from the relation E = ΔV/dfor a uniform field, that ΔV = E.d Thechange in pot is proportional to the displacement.
Hence, the planes parrallel to the plates and at $$\displaystyle{d}_{{1}}=\frac{{1.7}}{{4}}={0.425}{c}{m},{d}_{{2}}={\frac{{{1.7}}}{{{2}}}}={0.85}{c}{m}$$ and $$\displaystyle{d}_{{3}}={1.7}\times{\frac{{{3}}}{{{4}}}}={1.275}\ {c}{m}$$ are equipot surfaces with $$\displaystyle{V}_{{1}}={120},{V}_{{2}}={240}$$ and $$\displaystyle{V}_{{3}}={360}{V}$$ respectively.
(b) The field lines are perpendicular to the plates. The equipot surfaces are parallel to the plates. Hence the field lines and equipot surfaces are perepndicular to each other.

Electrostatic precipitators use electric forces to remove pollutant particles from smoke, in particular in the smokestacks of coal-burning power plants. One form of precipitator consists of a vertical, hollow, metal cylinder with a thin wire, insulated from the cylinder, running along its axis. A large potential difference is established between the wire and the outer cylinder, with the wire at lower potential. This sets up a strong radial electric field directed inward. The field produces a region of ionized air near the wire. Smoke enters the precipitation at the bottom, ash and dust in it pick up electrons, and the charged pollutants are accelerated toward the outer cylinder wall by the electric field. Suppose the radius of the central wire is 90.0 u(m,the radius of the cylinder is 14.0 cm, and a potential difference of 50.0 kG is established between the wire and the cylinder. Also assume that the wire and cylinder are both very long in comparison to the cylinder radius.
