Question:

There are two thin parallel charged sheets having surface charge density a placed at a small distance apart. Which of the following statements are correct?

(A) If both the sheets are positively charged, then the electric field between them is $σ/ε_0$
(B) If both the sheets are negatively charged, then the electric field between them is $σ/ε_0$
(C) If the left sheet is positively charged and the right sheet is negatively charged the field between them is $σ/ε_0$
(D) If the right sheet is positively charged and the left sheet is negatively charged then the field between them is $σ/ε_0$
