Question

What is the value of $E$ in the space outside the charged sheets?

• A. $\sigma /{\epsilon }_0$
• B. $\sigma /{2\epsilon }_0$
• C. $E\ne 0$, The value of $E$ is different at diffrerent distances from sheets.
• D. $2\sigma /{\epsilon }_0$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$E\ne 0$, The value of $E$ is different at diffrerent distances from sheets.

Inside a charged conducting surface $E=0$, but on or outside the surface $E\ne 0$
Therefore, Electric intensity is discontinuous across a charged conducting surface
