A perfectly conducting metal plate is placed in x-y plane in a right handed coordinate system. A charge of +32πε0 √2 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
-
- 2√2 k̂
- -2 k̂
- 2 k̂
- -2√2 k̂
- 2√2 k̂
Correct Option: B
E = E1 + E2 = | ![]() | + | ![]() | |||||
4πε0 | R13 | R23 |

E = | ![]() | ( √2ax + √2ay - 2az ) - | ( √2ax + √2ay + 2az ) | ![]() | |||||
4πε0 | 16√2 | 16√2 |
= | [-4az ] = | (-az) | ||
16√2 × 4πε0 | 16√2 πε0 |
E = -2az
