JEE MAIN - Physics (2020 - 4th September Morning Slot - No. 19)

Two charged thin infinite plane sheets of
uniform surface charge density $${\sigma _ + }$$ and $${\sigma _ - }$$,
where |$${\sigma _ + }$$| > |$${\sigma _ - }$$|, intersect at right angle.

Explanation

JEE Main 2020 (Online) 4th September Morning Slot Physics - Electrostatics Question 156 English Explanation Given, |$${\sigma _ + }$$| > |$${\sigma _ - }$$|

We know, $$\left| {{E_ + }} \right| = {{\left| {{\sigma _ + }} \right|} \over {{\varepsilon _0}}}$$

and $$\left| {{E_ - }} \right| = {{\left| {{\sigma _ - }} \right|} \over {{\varepsilon _0}}}$$

$$ \therefore $$ $$\left| {{E_ + }} \right|$$ > $$\left| {{E_ - }} \right|$$

Thin infinite uniformly charged planes produces uniform electric field therefore option A and C are obviously wrong.

And as positive charge density is bigger in magnitude so its field along Y direction will be bigger than field of negative charge in X direction and this is evident in option B so it is correct.
