In a parallel plate capacitor the potential difference . . .

Question : In a parallel plate capacitor the potential difference of 100 V is maintained between the plates. If the distance between the plates be 5 mm, what is the electric field at points A and B?

Solution : 
We know, the electric field between the plates of capacitor is uniform so the value of electric field at point A and B will remain the same. 
The magnitude of electric field is given by 
Electric field = Potential / Distance

Here, 
V = 100 V
d = 5 mm
   = 5×10-3 m

EA=EB=100/(5×10-3)
EA=EB=(100×103)/5
EA=EB=20×103 V/m
EA=EB=2×104 V/m
