Potential difference and power — practice question

The diagram illustrates two metal plates P and Q. A potential difference of $700\,\text{V}$ exists across the plates. Plate Q is earthed. What are the magnitude and the direction of the electric field at point R?

  • A$1.4 \times 10^{2}\,\text{N C}^{-1}$ from P towards Q
  • B$1.4 \times 10^{2}\,\text{N C}^{-1}$ from Q towards P
  • C$1.4 \times 10^{5}\,\text{N C}^{-1}$ from P towards Q
  • D$1.4 \times 10^{5}\,\text{N C}^{-1}$ from Q towards P
