A point charge 
is placed at a distance 
from an isolated conducting plane. The field at a point P on the other side of the plane is:
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
When a point positive charge brought near an isolated conducting plane, some negative charge develop on the surface of the plane towards the charge and an equal positive charge develop on opposite side of the plane. This process is called charging by induction.
