Two parallel large thin metal sheets have equal surface charge densities (σ = 26.4 × 10 –12 C/m 2 ) of opposite signs. The electric field between these sheets is
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
The situation is shown in the figure. Plate 1 has surface charge density σ and plate 2 has surface charge density σ. The electric field at point P due to charged plates add up, giving
E = 
Given, σ = 2.64 × 10 –12 C/m 2 ,
ε 0 = 8.85 × 10 –12 C 2 /N-m 2
Hence,
