Help with a physics question?
In a region where the electric field is constant, as it is between two oppositely charged parallel plates, is the voltage also constant? Explain please?

I'm not sure, though, but I'll draw an analogy from gravitation. It is said that Gravitation and electrostatics are parallel concepts and the concepts of one apply to the other.
In gravitation, field is GM/r^2
Potential is -GM/r
Seeing that potential is a derivative of field, this means that if field is constant, potential is 0. This surely applies to gravitation and there's a good chance it applies to electrostatics as well.
