Question:

Three very large plates are given charges as shown in the figure. If the cross-sectional area of each plate is the same, then the final charge distribution on the surface of the plates a, b, c, d, e, f is

Options:

7Q on surface e and 3Q on surface f

-2Q on surface b and 3Q on surface a

-7Q on surface d and 2Q on surface c

All of above are equal

Correct Answer:

All of above are equal

Explanation:

Using the conservation of charge principle, distribute the charge on all the surfaces of the plates a, b, c, d, e, and f. Then use the concept, electric field is zero inside the plates.
