Electric Charges and Fields

Question:

Electric field at a point due to a uniformly charged infinite plane sheet is

Options:

proportional to distance from the sheet

proportional to square of the distance from the sheet

inversely proportional to square of the distance from the sheet.

independent of the distance from the sheet

Correct Answer:

independent of the distance from the sheet

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → independent of the distance from the sheet

The electric field due to a uniformly charged infinite plane sheet is given by:

$E = \frac{\sigma}{2 \epsilon_0}$

It is constant and does not depend on the distance from the sheet.

Independent of the distance from the sheet
