Consider two large ,identical parallel conducting plates having surface `X` and `Y` .facing each other.The charge per unit area on `X` is `sigma_(1)` and charge per unit surface area of `Y` is `sigma_(2)` .Then,

A

`sigma_(1)=-sigma_(2)` in all cases

B

`sigma_(1)=-sigma_(2)` only if a charge is given to one plate only.

C

`sigma_(1)=sigma_(2)=0` if equal charges are given to both the plates.

D

`sigma_(1)gtsigma_(2)` if `X` is given more charge than `Y`.
