Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\sigma / \epsilon_0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

By Gauss law \(\int \vec{E} \cdot d \vec{A}=\frac{q_{\text {in }}}{\varepsilon_0}\)

\(\mathrm{EdA}=\frac{\sigma \times \mathrm{dA}}{\varepsilon_0}\)

\(\mathrm{E}=\frac{\sigma}{\varepsilon_0}\)
