There are two thin parallel charged sheets having surface charge density \( \sigma \) placed at a small distance apart. Which of the following statements are correct?
(A) If both the sheets are positively charged, then the electric field between them is \( \sigma/\epsilon_0 \)
(B) If both the sheets are negatively charged, then the electric field between them is \( \sigma/\epsilon_0 \)
(C) If the left sheet is positively charged and the right sheet is negatively charged the field between them is \( \sigma/\epsilon_0 \)
(D) If the right sheet is positively charged and the left sheet is negatively charged then the field between them is \( \sigma/\epsilon_0 \)
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. A (A) and (B) only
  2. B (A) and (D) only
  3. C (B) and (C) only
  4. D (C) and (D) only
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) (C) and (D) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Electric field due to a single charged sheet: \( E_s = \frac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0} \) For (C) (left +, right -): Fields between sheets are in the same direction. \( E = E_s + E_s = \frac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0} + \frac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0} = \frac{\sigma}{\epsilon_0} \) For (D)…
