easy

The electric field near a conducting surface having a uniform surface charge density $\sigma $ is given by

A

$\frac{\sigma }{{{\varepsilon _0}}}$ and is parallel to the surface

B

$\frac{{2\sigma }}{{{\varepsilon _0}}}$ and is parallel to the surface

C

$\frac{\sigma }{{{\varepsilon _0}}}$ and is normal to the surface

D

$\frac{{2\sigma }}{{{\varepsilon _0}}}$ and is normal to the surface

Solution

(c) Electric field near the conductor surface is given by $\frac{\sigma }{{{\varepsilon _0}}}$ and it is perpendicular to surface.
