Two infinitely large charged planes having uniform surface charge density +σ and -σ are placed along x-y plane and y-z plane, respectively, as shown in the figure. Then the nature of electric lines of forces in x-z plane is given by (A)  (B)  (C)  (D)

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

The electric field intensity due to each uniformly charged infinite plane is uniform. The electric field intensity at points

A, B, C

and

D

due to plane 1 , plane 2 and both planes are given by

E_{1}, E_{2}

and

E

as shown in figure 1 . Hence, the electric lines of forces are as given in figure 2 .

Q. Two infinitely large charged planes having uniform surface charge density +σ and −σ are placed along x−y plane and y−z plane, respectively, as shown in the figure. Then the nature of electric lines of forces in x−z plane is given by

The electric field intensity due to each uniformly charged infinite plane is uniform. The electric field intensity at points A,B,C and D due to plane 1 , plane 2 and both planes are given by E1​,E2​ and E as shown in figure 1 . Hence, the electric lines of forces are as given in figure 2 .

Q. Two infinitely large charged planes having uniform surface charge density $+ σ$ and $- σ$ are placed along $x - y$ plane and $y - z$ plane, respectively, as shown in the figure. Then the nature of electric lines of forces in $x - z$ plane is given by
