Consider two infinitely large plane parallel conducting plates as shown below. The plates are uniformly charged with a surface charge density \(+\sigma\) and \(-2 \sigma\). The force experienced by a point charge +q placed at the mid point between two plates will be :

Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(\frac{3 \sigma q}{2 \epsilon_0}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation

Final charge distribution will be

\(\therefore \mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{net}}=\frac{3 \sigma}{2 \epsilon_0} \mathrm{q}\)
