  • MCQ

Consider a thin metallic sheet perpendicular to the plane of the paper moving with speed \('v'\) in a uniform magnetic field \(B\) going into the plane of the paper (See figure). If charge densities \({\sigma _1}\) and \({\sigma _2}\) are induced on the left and right surfaces, respectively, of the sheet then (ignore fringe effects)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \({\sigma _1} = { \in _0}\,vB\,,\,{\sigma _2} =  - { \in _0}\,vB\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\because F=q E\) and \(F=q v B\)

\(\therefore \mathrm{E}=\mathrm{vB}\)

And Gauss's law in Electrostatics \(\mathrm{E}=\frac{\sigma}{\varepsilon_{0}}\)

\(\mathrm{E}=\frac{\sigma}{\varepsilon_{0}}=\mathrm{vB} \Rightarrow \sigma=\varepsilon_{0} \mathrm{vB}\)

\(\sigma_{1}=-\sigma_{2}\)
