Q. Force acting on a test charge between the plates of a parallel capacitor is . If one of the plates is removed, then the force on the same test charge will be :

 2172  194 Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance Report Error

Solution:

Electric field is between the plates and there is equal contribution from both the plates. When one plate is removed, the force is halved.
