A metal slab is placed in a uniform electric field `vecE`. What will be the net electric field intensity inside it?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine the net electric field intensity inside a metal slab placed in a uniform electric field, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Concept of Electric Field and Conductors When a conductor (like a metal slab) is placed in an external electric field, the free electrons within the conductor will respond to the electric field. **Hint:** Recall that conductors have free electrons that can move easily in response to external electric fields. ### Step 2: Movement of Free Electrons ...

A proton and an electron are placed in a uniform electric field.

Assertion: No net charge can exist in the region where electric field is uniform. Reason: For any type of Gaussian surface selected within the region of a uniform electric field, the angle between electric field intensity and area normal is 90^@ everywhere. Hence, electric flux linked with the selected Gaussian surface is equal to zero. If the net electric flux is zero for some Gaussian surface then according to Gauss's law the net charge enclosed within the surface must be zero.
