The plates of small size of a parallel plate capacitor are charged as shown. The force on the charged particle of 'q' at a distance 'l' from the capacitor is : (Assume that the distance between the plates is `d ltlt l`)

A

zero

B

`(Qqd)/(2 pi epsilon_(0)l^(3))`

C

`(Qqd)/(pi epsilon_(0)l^(3))`

D

`(Qqd)/(4 piepsilon_(0)l^(3))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

The two plates acts as a dipole

`therefore` Force on charge q:
`F=Eq=((2 kQd)/(l^(3)))q=(Qqd)/(2piepsilon_(0)l^(3))`
