MCQ
A charge $Q$ is uniformly distributed over a large plastic plate. The electric field at a point $P$ close to the centre of the plate is $10 \mathrm{Vm}^{-1}$. If the plastic plate is replaced by a copper plate of the same geometrical dimensions and carrying the same charge $Q$ the electric field at the point $P$ will become:
  • Zero
  • B
    $5 \mathrm{Vm}^{-1}$
  • C
    $10 \mathrm{Vm}^{-1}$
  • D
    $20 \mathrm{Vm}^{-1}$

Answer

Correct option: A.
Zero
Electric field at centre of the plastic Platcis same as the centre of the copper plate.
