In the figure, a very large plane sheet of positive charge is shown. ${P}_{1}$ and ${P}_{2}$ are two points at distance $l$ and $2l$ from the charge distribution. If $\sigma$ is the surface charge density, then the magnitude of electric fields ${E}_{1}$ and ${E}_{2}$ at ${P}_{1}$ and ${P}_{2}$ respectively are

Quantrex Academy · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: C. E _ 1 = E _ 2 = σ 2 ε _ o

The electric field due to a large uniformly charged non-conducting sheet is given by, E = σ 2 ε _ o . It is independent of the distance from the sheet. Therefore, E _ 1 = E _ 2 = σ 2 ε _ o
