Question 110 of 311

Two charged thin infinite plane sheets of uniform charge density ${\sigma }_{+}$ and ${\sigma }_{-}$, where $\left|{\sigma }_{+}\right|\gt \left|{\sigma }_{-}\right|$, intersect at the right angle. Which of the following best represents the electric field lines for the system:

ABCD

Show answer and solution▾

Answer: (C)

The electric field intensity due to each uniformly charged infinite plane is uniform. The electric field intensity at points $A,B,C$ and $D$ as shown in figure. Hence, the electric lines of forces are as given in below figure.
