A point charge `+q` is placed at a distance `d` from an isolated conducting plane. The field at a point `P` on the other side of plane is

A

directed perpendicular to the plane and away from the plane

B

directed perpendicular to the plane but towards the plane

C

directed radilally away form the point hcarage

D

directed radially towards the point charge

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
when a point charge `+q` is placed at a distance `d` from and isolated conducting plane ,the surface of the plane towards the charge induces negative charge and an equal positive charge and an equal positive charge develops on the opposite side of the plane .So the field at a point `P` on the other side of the plane is away from the plane and directed perpendicular to the surface.
