Potential at a point on the plate of a parallel plate capacitor

In the two plates of a parallel plate capacitor, the charges are equal and opposite i.e $q$ and $-q$. Can I say the potentials of these plates as $V_1$ and $-V_1$, so the difference in potentials will …

How to use Gauss's law on the surface of a conductor?

I have seen that the electric field on the surface of a conductor of any shape is $$E=\frac{\sigma}{\varepsilon_0}\; .$$ I have already got that the field near the surface of a conductor but my concer …

What exactly is meant by potential of a plate?

while going through capacitors, what exactly does the term potential of a plate mean? does potential of a plate mean potential "at any point" on the plate, i.e the work done in bringing a unit positiv …
