MCQ
Two infinitely long parallel conducting plates having surface charge densities $ + \sigma $ and $ - \sigma $ respectively, are separated by a small distance. The medium between the plates is vacuum. If ${\varepsilon _0}$ is the dielectric permittivity of vacuum, then the electric field in the region between the plates is
  • A
    $0\,volts/meter$
  • B
    $\frac{\sigma }{{2{\varepsilon _o}}} volts/meter$
  • $\frac{\sigma }{{{\varepsilon _o}}} volts/meter$
  • D
    $\frac{{2\sigma }}{{{\varepsilon _o}}} volts/meter$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$\frac{\sigma }{{{\varepsilon _o}}} volts/meter$
c
(c) Electric field between the plates is
$ = \frac{\sigma }{{2{\varepsilon _0}}} - \frac{{( - \sigma )}}{{2{\varepsilon _0}}}$
$ = \frac{\sigma }{{{\varepsilon _0}}}\,volt/meter$
