1. Electric Charges and Fields
medium

Two infinite sheets of uniform charge density $+\sigma$  and $-\sigma $ are parallel to each other as shown in the figure. Electric field at the

A

points to the left or to the right of the sheets is zero.

B

midpoint between the sheets is zero.

C

midpoint of the sheets is $\sigma / \varepsilon_0 $ and is directed towards right.

D

$A$ and $C$ both

Solution

Electric field due to charge sheet for charge density $+\sigma$ is $E=\frac{+\sigma}{2 \epsilon_{0}}$ and for $-\sigma$ is $E=$$\frac{-\sigma}{2 \epsilon_{0}}$

outside the plates field is $E=\frac{+\sigma}{2 \epsilon_{0}}+\frac{-\sigma}{2 \epsilon_{0}}=0$

between the plates field is $E=\frac{\sigma}{2 \epsilon_{0}}+\frac{\sigma}{2 \epsilon_{0}}=\frac{\sigma}{\epsilon_{0}}$
