Two parallel metal plates are at electric potentials of +800 V and +1300 V. Which diagram best represents the electric field between the metal plates?

1. ADiagram A: field lines pointing left (from +1300 V to +800 V), bulging outward at the edges
2. BDiagram B: field lines pointing left (from +1300 V to +800 V), bulging outward at the edges
3. CDiagram C: field lines pointing right (from +800 V to +1300 V), bulging outward at the edges
4. DDiagram D: field lines pointing right (from +800 V to +1300 V), bulging outward at the edges
