Q. Two large metal plates are placed parallel to each other. The inner surfaces of plates are charged by $+ \sigma$ and$- \sigma\ (Coulomb/m^{2})$. The outer surfaces are neutral. The electric field is …… in the region between the plates and …… outside the plates

A) $\frac{2\sigma}{\in_{0}},\frac{\sigma}{\in_{0}}$
B) $\frac{\sigma}{\in_{0}},zero$
C) $\frac{2\sigma}{\in_{0}},zero$
D) $zero,\frac{2\sigma}{\in_{0}}$
Explanation

(b) Between plate $E = \frac{\sigma}{2\varepsilon_{0}} - \left( \frac{- \sigma}{2\varepsilon_{0}} \right) = \frac{\sigma}{\varepsilon_{0}},$
Outside plate $\sigma = 0\ \therefore E^{'} = 0$
