Electromagnetism problem (1 Viewer)

[MS8]

Two parallel conducting plates are separated by 10cm, and one of them is taken to be at zero volts.
What is the electric field strength between them, if the potential 8.00cm from the zero volt plate (2.00cm from the other) is 450V?

How does one of the plates being taken as zero volts affect things?
