NEET Physics (general) MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-diagram based-Easy-Class 12
Consider a parallel plate capacitor as described in the NCERT text, where the electric field E between the plates is given by E = σ / ε₀. What does σ represent in this equation?
A
Surface charge density on the plates
B
Electric potential between the plates
C
Capacitance of the capacitor
D
Distance between the plates
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
In the context of a parallel plate capacitor, σ represents the surface charge density on the plates. This is directly related to the electric field between the plates as per the equation E = σ / ε₀.
