The electric field on two sides of a thin sheet of charge is shown in the figure. The charge density on the sheet is

A

`2epsilon_0`

B

`4epsilon_0`

C

`10epsilon_0`

D

zero

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Let `E` be the external field (toward right). The
`E-sigma/(2epsilon_0) =8`………….i
`E+sigma/(2epsilon_0=12`………..ii
Solving these equations we get `sigma=4epsilon_0`

A large charged metal sheet is placed in a uniform electric field, perpendicular to the electric field lines. After placing the sheet into the field, the electric field on the left side of the sheet is E_1 = 5 xx 10^5 Vm^(-1) and on the right it is E_2 = 3 xx 10^5 V m^(-1) . The sheet experiences a net electric force of 0.08 N. Find the area of one face of the sheet. Assume the external field to remain constant after introducing the large sheet. Use (1/(4piepsilon_0)) = 9 xx 10^(9) Nm^(2)C^(-2)

A charged large metal sheet is placed into uniform electric field, perpendicularly to the electric field lines. After placing the sheet into the field, the electric field on the left side of the sheet is E_(1)=5xx10^(5)V//m and on the right it is E_(2) = 3xx10^(5)V//m .
