Consider 2 metallic plates - one +vely charged and the other -vely charged, separated by a certain distance. An electric field is generated between the plate in the direction from +ve to -ve plate. How does the force on a +ve point charge vary when the +ve point charge initially near the -ve plate is moved towards the +ve plate?

Can anyone help in answering the above question?

For large plates, closely spaced compared to their size, the electric field is a constant between them, giving a uniform, constant force on the charged particles.
