The magnitude of the charge density on each plate is o. The E-Field outside the two plates is: 0/2ɛ 20/8 zero Submit Answer Tries 0/2 The E-Field between the two plates is: 0/2ɛ 20/8 zero
The magnitude of the electric field due to the infinite plane sheet is given by
In the region outside the two plates in the left, the electric field due to the +ve plane sheet is directed towards left (red arrow) and that due to the negative plane sheet is directed towards the right. Since the two fields are equal in magnitude and opposite in the directions, the resultant field at this regions will be zero.
Similarly, outside the plates, in the right region, the electric field due to the positive plate is directed towards right (red arrow) and that due to the negative plate is directed towards left (blue arrow). Since the two fields are equal in magnitude and opposite in the directions, the resultant field at this regions will be zero. Therefore, the correct answer is zero.
