To determine at which of the two points, `1` or `2`, of a charged capacitor with non-parallel plates the surface charge density is greater, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Configuration We have a capacitor with non-parallel plates. The surface charge density (σ) is related to the electric field (E) produced by the charged plates. ### Step 2: Recall the Relationship Between Electric Field and Surface Charge Density The electric field (E) between two plates of a capacitor is given by the formula: \[ E = \frac{\sigma}{\epsilon_0} \] ...
