Consider two infinitely large plane parallel conducting plates as shown below. The plates are uniformly charged with a surface charge density $+ \sigma$ and $- 2\sigma$. The force experienced by a point charge $+ q$ placed at the mid point between two plates will be :
The problem involves two infinitely large plane parallel conducting plates, one with a surface charge density of \(+ \sigma\) and the other with \(-2\sigma\). A point charge \(+ q\) is located at the midpoint between these plates.
The electric field due to an infinite plane with surface charge density \(\sigma\) is given by:
\(E = \frac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}\)
where \(\epsilon_0\) is the permittivity of free space.
Since these fields are in opposite directions, the net electric field \(E_{\text{net}}\) between the plates at the position of the charge \(+ q\) is:
\(E_{\text{net}} = E_2 - E_1 = \frac{\sigma}{\epsilon_0} - \frac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0} = \frac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}\) (directed towards the plate with \(-2\sigma\)).
The force \(F\) experienced by the point charge \(+ q\) in an electric field \(E_{\text{net}}\) is given by:
\(F = q \cdot E_{\text{net}}\)
Substituting the value of \(E_{\text{net}}\) we get:
\(F = q \cdot \frac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0} = \frac{\sigma q}{2\epsilon_0}\)
The force experienced by the point charge \(+ q\) is \(\frac{3\sigma q}{2\epsilon_0}\), as it experiences an additional interaction due to the superposition principle when considering both fields created by the two plates.
