Question

Two conducting large plates P1 and P2 are placed near to each other at very small separation 'd'. The plate area of either face of plate is A. Now a charge +2Q is given to plate P1 and Q to the plate P2 (neglect ends effects). Potential difference between the plates P1 and P2

Solution

The correct option is B 3Qd2ϵ0A
Magnitude of charge on each inner face
q=2Q(Q)2=3Q2
Potential difference =qC=3Qd2ϵ0A
Why this question?

Tip: The potential difference is only due to the charges on the inner surfaces, as the fields due to charges on outer surfaces cancel each other in the region between the plates.
