The electric potential difference \( V \) between two parallel plates can be calculated using the formula:

\[
V = E \cdot d
\]

where:
- \( E \) is the magnitude of the electric field,
- \( d \) is the distance between the plates.

Given:
- \( E = 1250 \, \text{N/C} \)
- \( d = 0.05 \, \text{m} \)

Substituting the values into the formula:

\[
V = 1250 \, \text{N/C} \cdot 0.05 \, \text{m} = 62.5 \, \text{V}
\]

Rounding to the tenths place, the electric potential difference is:

\[
\boxed{62.5 \, \text{V}}
\]
