1. Electric Charges and Fields
easy

Two infinitely long parallel conducting plates having surface charge densities $ + \sigma $ and $ - \sigma $ respectively, are separated by a small distance. The medium between the plates is vacuum. If ${\varepsilon _0}$ is the dielectric permittivity of vacuum, then the electric field in the region between the plates is

A

$0\,volts/meter$

B

$\frac{\sigma }{{2{\varepsilon _o}}} volts/meter$

C

$\frac{\sigma }{{{\varepsilon _o}}} volts/meter$

D

$\frac{{2\sigma }}{{{\varepsilon _o}}} volts/meter$

(AIIMS-2005)

Solution

(c) Electric field between the plates is
$ = \frac{\sigma }{{2{\varepsilon _0}}} – \frac{{( – \sigma )}}{{2{\varepsilon _0}}}$
$ = \frac{\sigma }{{{\varepsilon _0}}}\,volt/meter$
