Expert Solution
Step 1

The capacitor consisting of non parallel charged plates, creates equipotential surfaces as shown in the figure.

An equipotential surface is such a surface on which every point has the same value of electric potential, thus the name equipotential surface or lines.

In the given arrangement, the equipotential surfaces are at 50 V, 30 V and 10 V. And these surfaces go from the bottom plate to the top plate, in decreasing order.

Thus, the values of electric potential decrease as one moves from the bottom plate to the top plate. So, this means that the region near the bottom plate is kept at a high potential, and the region near the top plate is at a low potential.
