  1. A perfectly conducting metal plate is placed in x-y plane in a right handed coordinate system. A charge of +32πε02 coulombs is placed at coordinate (0, 0, 2). ∈0 is the permittivity of free space. Assume î , ĵ , k̂ to be unit vectors along x, y and z axes r espect i vely. At t he coor di nat e. (√2, √2,0), the electric field vector E (Newtons/ Coulomb) will be

    1. 2√2
    2. -2 k̂
    3. 2 k̂
    4. -2√2
Correct Option: B
