1. Electric Charges and Fields
medium

A charge $Q$ is uniformly distributed over a large square plate of copper. The electric  field at a point very close to the centre of the plane is $10\, V/m$. If the copper plate is  replaced by a plastic plate of the same geometrical dimensions and carrying the same  charge $Q$ uniformly distributed, then the electric field at the point $P$ will be......$V/m$

A

$5 $

B

$0$

C

$10$

D

$20$

Solution

Electric field will remain same

in case of copper plate $\sigma=\frac{Q}{2 \mathrm{A}}$

$\therefore $ $\mathrm{E}=\frac{\sigma}{\epsilon_{0}}=\frac{\mathrm{Q}}{2 \mathrm{A} \in_{0}}$

in case of plastic plate $\sigma=\frac{Q}{A}$

$\therefore $ $\mathrm{E}=\frac{\sigma}{2 \mathrm{e}_{0}}=\frac{\mathrm{Q}}{2 \mathrm{A} \in_{0}}$
