Question

Electric field due to an infinite sheet of charge having surface density $\sigma$ is E. Electric field due to an infinite conducting sheet of same surface density of charge is :

• A. E/2
• B. E
• C. 2E
• D. 4E

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

2E

Answer 2

Conducting sheet has two surfaces. So, electric field will be due to two surface densities of charge
