Question

iii. Has the direction of the electric field at the following points changed? Explain. point B point C iv. Has the absolute value of the electric potential difference increased, decreased, or remained the same? Explain your reasoning. 3. Two very large sheets of charge are separated by a distance d. One sheet has a surface charge density + sigma ; the other, a surface charge density -sigma0. A small region near the center of the sheets is shown. a. Draw arrows on the diagram to indicate the direction of the electric field at points A. B. C. and D. i. Compare the magnitudes of the electric fields at points A, B, C, and D. Explain. ii. How would the electric force exerted on a charged particle at point A compare to the electric force exerted on the same particle at point B? point C? point D?

Explanation / Answer

1) since net charge on the sphere doesnt change the electric field at A and B doesnt change

since electric field doesnt change

Potential difference remains same

2) Electric field is directed from positive to negative plate ( from left to right )

Field inside the plates is constant and independent on the position

therefore field is same at all the points

since field is same Force on a charge is same at all the points
