Question:

The electric field intensity due to an infinite thin plane sheet of surface charge density σ is:

Options:

$+\frac{σ}{ε_0}$

$\frac{σ}{2ε_0}$

$\frac{-σ}{ε_0}$

$\frac{-2σ}{ε_0}$

Correct Answer:

$\frac{σ}{2ε_0}$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → $\frac{σ}{2ε_0}$

The electric field intensity due to an infinite thin plane is,

$E=\frac{σ}{2ε_0}$
