Consider two extremely large parallel metallic plate-1 and plate-2.
For plate-1, its inner face a, b, c, d has charge `q = sigmaA`. Its outer face e, f, g, h has no charge. Hence, on the left of plate-1, E = 0.
Here, electric field produced by positively charged inner face is,
`E_(1) (to) = sigma/(2epsilon_(0))`...........(1)
For plate-2, charge on its inner face `a_(2), b_(2), c_(2), d_(2)` has charge `q =- sigmaA` . Its outer face `e_2, f_2, g_2, h_2` has no charge. Hence, on the right of plate-2, E = 0.
Here electric field produced by negatively charged inner face is,
`E_(2)(to) = sigma/(2epsilon_(0))`...........(2)
Now, resultant electric field between the plates is:
`E = E_(1) + E_(2), (therefore vecE_(1) || vecE_(2))`
`=sigma/(2epsilon_(0)) + sigma/(2epsilon_(0))`
`=sigma/(epsilon_(0))`
`=(17 xx 10^(-22))/(8.85 xx 10^(-12))`
`therefore E = 1.92 xx 10^(-10) N//C`
