JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 1. Electric charges and fields

A thin infinite sheet charge and an infinite line charge of respective charge densities \(+\sigma\) and \(+\lambda\) are placed parallel at \(5\,m\) distance from each other. Points \(P\) and \(Q\), are at \(\frac{3}{\pi} m\) and \(\frac{4}{\pi} m\) perpendicular distance from line charge towards sheet charge, respectively. \(E_P\) and \(E_Q\) are the magnitudes of resultant electric field intensities at point \(P\) and \(Q\), respectively. If \(\frac{E_p}{E_Q}=\frac{4}{a}\) for \(2|\sigma|=|\lambda|\). Then the value of \(a\) is ...........

  1. A \(3\)
  2. B \(9\)
  3. C \(6\)
  4. D \(12\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(6\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(E _{ A }=\frac{\lambda}{2 \pi \varepsilon_0 r _{ A }}-\frac{\sigma}{2 \varepsilon_0}\left\{ r _{ A }=\frac{3}{\pi}\right\}\) \(=\frac{1}{2 \varepsilon_0}\left\lfloor\frac{\lambda}{3}-\sigma\right\rfloor\)…
