At which of the two points, `1` or `2`, of a charged capacitor with nonparallel plates is the surface charge density greater?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

At point 1, distance between the plates is less, so attraction between the charge here can be more due to which concentration of charge at point 1 will be more.
