An uncharged conducting large plate is placed as shown. Now an electric field E towards right is applied. Find the induced charge density on the right surface of the plate.

A

`-epsilon_(0)E`

B

`epsilon_(0)E`

C

`-2 epsilon_(0)E`

D

`2 epsilon_(0)E`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Net electric field at point `P` should be zero. For the electric field due to induced charges= applied electric field

`implies (sigma)/(epsilon_(0))=Eimplies sigma= epsilon_(0)E`
