Six infinitely large and thin non-conducting sheets are fixed in configurations I and II. As shown in the figure, the sheets carry uniform surface charge densities which are indicated in terms of ₀ . The separation between any two consecutive sheets is 1 ~m . The various regions between the sheets are denoted as 1,2,3,4 and 5. If ₀=9 C / m ^2 , then which of the following statements is/are correct: (Take permittivity
Options
- AIn region 4 of the configuration I , the magnitude of the electric field is zero.
- BIn region 3 of the configuration II, the magnitude of the electric field is ₀ ₀ .
- CPotential difference between the first and the last sheets of the configuration I is 5 V .
- DPotential difference between the first and the last sheets of the configuration II is zero.
Correct answer
A. In region 4 of the configuration I , the magnitude of the electric field is zero.
