A clean 2D side-view schematic of two flat conducting plates oriented horizontally with a tilt relative to each other. The top plate is tilted slightly upward toward the right, carrying a total label +Q above it. The bottom plate is horizontal, carrying a total label -Q below it. At the far left, a vertical dashed dimension line with arrows spans the gap between the inner surfaces of the plates and is labeled d_1. At the far right, a vertical dashed dimension line with arrows spans the wider gap between the inner surfaces and is labeled d_2, where d_2 is visibly larger than d_1. No electric field lines, equipotential lines, or surface charge symbols appear. No other labels, lines, text, or axes appear.
Two nonparallel conducting plates carrying charges +Q and -Q.
Two flat, nonparallel conducting plates are isolated in air and carry total charges \(+Q\) and \(-Q\), respectively. The plates are tilted such that the separation between them increases smoothly from a smaller distance \(d_1\) at the left edge to a larger distance \(d_2\) at the right edge, as shown. Which of the following claims correctly compares the electric field magnitude \(E\) at the left edge to that at the right edge inside the gap, and provides the correct physical justification?
