Question
Two large, thin metal plates are parallel and close to each other. On their inner faces, the plates have surface charge densities of opposite signs and of magnitude $17.0 \times 10^{-22} C / m ^2$. What is E: (a) in the outer region of the first plate, (b) in the outer re-gion of the second plate, and (c) between the plates?

Answer

Given :
$\sigma=17 \cdot 0 \times 10^{-22} C / m ^2$
Electric field produced due to layer of charge
$E =\frac{\sigma}{2 \in_0}$
Image

If the electric field due to the positive charge layer is E1 end ,the electric field due to the negative charge layer is E2 then (a) and (b) Electric field at the outer points of the plates
$E=E_1-E_2$
or$E=\frac{\sigma}{2 \in_0}-\frac{\sigma}{2 \in_0}=0$
(c)$E=\frac{\sigma}{2 \in_0}+\frac{\sigma}{2 \in_0}=\frac{\sigma}{\in_0}$
[From positive to negative plate]
On putting values $E =\frac{17 \times 10^{-}}{8.85 \times 10^{-12}}$
$=1.92 \times 10^{-10} N / C$

The lens maker's formula is a relation that connects focal length of a lens to radii of curvature of two surfaces of the lens and refractive index of the material of the lens. It is $\frac{1}{\text{f}}=(\mu-1)(\frac{1}{\text{R}_1}-\frac{1}{\text{R}_2}),$ where $\mu$ is refractive index of lens material $\text{w.r.t.}$ the medium in which lens is held. As $\mu_\text{v}>\mu_\text{r}$ therefore $\text{f}_\text{r}>\text{f}_\text{v}.$ Mean focal length of lens for yellow colour is $\text{F}=\sqrt{\text{f}_\text{r}\times\text{f}_\text{v}}.$

ln practice, we deal with charges much greater in magnitude than the charge on an electron, so we can ignore the quantum nature of charges and imagine that the charge is spread in a region in a continuous manner. Such a charge distribution is known as continuous charge distribution. There are three types of continuous charge distribution : $(i)$ Line charge distribution $(ii)$ Surface charge distribution $(iii)$ Volume charge distribution as shown in figure.
