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 $E=\frac{\sigma}{2 \epsilon_{0}}+\frac{\sigma}{2 \epsilon_{0}}=\frac{\sigma}{\epsilon_{0}}$
Ans: $(\mathrm{A}),(\mathrm{C})$
