PHY 102 Gauss's Law and Electrostatic Fields Objective Question
Take CBT

Question

For a charged non-conducting sheet (insulating sheet) with uniform surface charge density σ, what is the electric field?
Options
A E = σ/(2ε₀)
Correct Answer
B E = σ/ε₀
C E = 0
D E = 2σ/ε₀
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

For a charged non-conducting sheet, field lines emanate from both sides, so total flux = 2EA = σA/ε₀, giving E = σ/(2ε₀).

Hint

Flux from both sides.
