The vertical deflecting plates of a typical classroom oscilloscope are a pair of parallel square metal plates carrying equal but opposite charges. The potential difference between the plates is 25.0 V. Typical dimensions are about 3.2 cm on a side, with a separation of about 4.9 mm. The plates are close enough that we can ignore fringing at the ends.
