distance L and a power supply with emf Vo Then you measure V for points along a straight
line perpendicular to the electrodes, joining the centers of the positive and negative
electrodes. You connect the positive terminal of the voltmeter to the anode and the negative
terminal to the pointer placed at a point in the tray along the line joining the two electrodes, a
distance d from the anode. Which of the following is true?
