Correct answer: C
- Field due to two identical infinite charged sheets
For one infinite sheet with surface charge density , the electric field magnitude on either side is and it is perpendicular to the sheet.
For two identical infinite sheets carrying equal charge densities, the net field is found by superposition:
- Outside the pair, the fields due to both sheets are in the same direction, so they add.
- Between the sheets, the fields are in opposite directions, so they cancel.
Thus,
From the figure, point is in the outside region and point is in the region between the sheets. Therefore,
- Field due to a uniformly charged spherical body
A spherical body with uniform volume charge density has electric field:
-
Inside the sphere at distance from center: So the field depends on .
-
Outside the sphere at distance from center:
From the figure, points and are at different locations relative to the sphere such that their distances from the center are different, so their electric fields cannot be equal. Hence,
