Two thin conducting plates (very large) ...

Two thin conducting plates (very large) parallel to each other carrying total chares `sigma A` and `-2sigma` A respectively (where A is the area of each plates), are placed in a uniform external electric field E as shown. Find the surface charge on each surface.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`(sigma-x) A, x A, -xA, (x-2 sigma) A` where, `x=(2epsi_(0) E+3sigma)//2`
