Two infinitely long parallel conducting ...

Two infinitely long parallel conducting plates having surface charge densities `+ sigma` and `-sigma` respectively, are seperated by a small distance. The medium between the plates is vacuum. If `epsilon_(0)` is the dielectric permittivity of vacumm, then the electric field in the region between the plates is

A

`sigma//epsilon_(0)` towards the positively charged plane

B

`sigma//epsilon_(0)` towards the negatively charged plane

C

`sigma(2epsilon_(0))` towards the positively charged plane

D

0 and towards any direction.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
b
The electric field between the two planes is `E=(sigma)/(epsilon_(0))` toward the negatively charged plane.
