Answer

The magnitude of the electric field strength between the electrodes is $600~V/m$

Work Step by Step

We can find the electric field strength between the electrodes: $E = -\frac{\Delta V}{\Delta x}$ $E = -\frac{(35~V-20~V)}{0.025~m}$ $E = -\frac{(15~V)}{0.025~m}$ $E = -600~V/m$ The magnitude of the electric field strength between the electrodes is $600~V/m$.
