NEET Physics (general) MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-diagram based-Medium-Class 12

Consider a parallel plate capacitor with plates labeled A and B. If the surface charge density on plate A is σ and on plate B is −σ, what is the electric field between the plates?

Question diagram
A

E = σ / ε₀

B

E = 2σ / ε₀

C

E = σ / 2ε₀

D

E = 0

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The electric field between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor is given by E = σ / ε₀, where σ is the surface charge density and ε₀ is the permittivity of free space.
