Electric Charges and Fields

Question:

A charge Q is uniformly distributed over a large plastic plate. The electric field at point P, close to the centre of the plate is 10Vm-1  . If the plastic plate is replaced by a copper plate of the same dimensions and carrying same charge Q then the electric field at the point P will be

Options:

5Vm-1 

10Vm-1 

20Vm-1 

Zero 

Correct Answer:

10Vm-1 

Explanation:

$\text{In both cases } E = \frac{\sigma}{\epsilon_0} = 10V/m$
