If charge density of an infinite charged plate is doubled and the distance of point charge is tripled from the infinite charged plate, then electric field is increased ____times.

Solution
Electric field due to an infinite charged plate is σ2ε0 i.e, it depends only on the charge density (σ) and independent of distance of charge from the charged plate. So, when charge density is doubled, the electric field is increased 2 times.
