In front of a uniformly charged infinite...

In front of a uniformly charged infinite non-conducting sheet of surface charge density `sigma`, a point charge `q_(0)` is shifted slowly from a distance a to `b (b gt a)`. If work done by external agent is W, then find out relation between the given parameters.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`W/q_(0) =-sigma/(2 epsi_(0)) (b-a)`
