1.24 The given conditions are explained in the adjacent diagram
Where A and B represent two large, thin metal plates, parallel and close to each other. The outer surface of A is shown as I, outer surface of B is shown as II and the surface in between A and B is shown as III.
Charge density of plate A, = 17.0 C/
Charge density of plate B, = 17.0
C/(a) & (b) In the region, I and III, electric field E is zero, because charge is not enclosed by the respective plates.
(c) Electric field, E in the region II is given by
E =
, where
= Permittivity of free space = 8.854E = N/C = 1.92 N/C
