Question
A total charge Q is distributed uniformly over a large flat insulating surface of area A . If the electric field magnitude is equal to 1000 NC/ at a point located a perpendicular distance of 0.1 m away from the center of the sheet, then the electric field at a point a perpendicular distance 0.2 m from the center of the sheet is:_______
a. 1000N/C
b. 500N/C
c. Impossible to say since we are not given Q and A
d. 250 N/C

Answer:
a. 1000N/C
Explanation:
Data mentioned in the question
Electrical field magnitude = 1000 NC
Perpendicular distance = 0.1 m
Perpendicular distance = 0.2 m
Based on the above information, the electric field is
As we know that
where,
= surface charge density
E = distance from nearby point to sheet i.e be independent
The distance at 0.1 and 0.2, the electric field would remain the same
So,
Based on the above explanation, the first option is correct
