STANDARD Physics Electric Field Due to Plane Sheets MCQ Question
Two infinite plane parallel sheets, separated by a distance d have equal and opposite uniform charge densities σ. Electric field at a point between the sheets is
σ / (2ε₀)
σ / ε₀
zero
depends on the location of the point
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The electric field due to a single infinite sheet with charge density σ is σ / (2ε₀). Between two sheets with equal and opposite charge densities, the fields add up to σ / ε₀.
