Question

In the figure, a very large plane sheet of positive charge is shown. P₁ and P₂ are two points at distance l and 2l from the charge distribution. If $\sigma$ is the surface charge density, then the magnitude of electric fields E₁ and E₂ at P₁ and P₂ respectively are :

${E_1} = \sigma /{\varepsilon _0},\,{E_2} = \sigma /2{\varepsilon _0}$

${E_1} = 2\sigma /{\varepsilon _0},\,{E_2} = \sigma /{\varepsilon _0}$

${E_1} = {E_2} = \sigma /2{\varepsilon _0}$

${E_1} = {E_2} = \sigma /{\varepsilon _0}$
