A pair of large vertical parallel conducting plates separated by distance d. The left plate is labeled 0 V. The right plate is labeled +V_0. Near the left plate, two points P1 and P2 sit along the horizontal axis separated by distance delta x. Near the right plate, two points P3 and P4 sit along the same axis separated by the same distance delta x. No other labels, lines, text, or axes appear.
Two parallel charged plates with two pairs of points separated by distance delta x.
Two large, parallel, oppositely charged conducting plates are separated by a distance matrix displacement along the central axis. The left plate is maintained at an electric potential of \(0\text{ V}\), and the right plate is maintained at an electric potential of \(+V_0\). Points \(P_1\) and \(P_2\) are located near the left plate and separated by a displacement \(\Delta x\). Points \(P_3\) and \(P_4\) are located near the right plate and separated by the same displacement \(\Delta x\). Which of the following correctly compares the magnitude of the potential difference between \(P_1\) and \(P_2\) (\(|\Delta V_{12}|\)) to that between \(P_3\) and \(P_4\) (\(|\Delta V_{34}|\)), and provides the correct physical justification?
