Correct answer
C. C
Step-by-step solution
The electric field due to a uniformly charged infinite plane sheet is given by the formula: E = 2 ₀ where is the surface charge density and ₀ is the permittivity of free space. From the formula, it is clear that the electric field E is independent of the distance d from the sheet. Therefore, the electric field remains constant as the distance varies. Graphically, this is represented by a straight horizontal line parallel to the distance axis ( d -axis). Graph (C) correctly shows this constant relationship. Answer:
