Charge between Parallel Plates
Surface charge density is defined as the charge per unit surface area of surface charge distribution, `i.e. sigma = (dq)/(dS)`
Two large, thin metal plates are parallel and close to each other. On their inner faces, the plates have surface charge densities of opposite signs having magnitude of `17.0 xx 10^(-22) Cm^(-2)` as shown below
The intensity of electric field at a point is `E=(sigma)/(epsilon_0)`
where, `epsilon_0` = permittivity of free space
`E` between the plates is
Options:
(a) `17 xx 10^(-22)` N/C
(b) `1.5 xx 10^(-15)` N/C
(c) `1.9 xx 10^(-10)`N/C
(d) zero
