Q6. Two large parallel thin plates having uniform charge densities to and are kept in X-Z
plane at a distance d apart. Sketch an equipotential surface due to electric field between the
plates. If a particle of mass m and charge - remains stationary between the plates, what is the
magnitude and direction of the field?

Answer:
Given two uniformly large parallel plate having charge densities +σ and −σ kept in x-z plane at distance d apart.
We have to sketch an equipotential surface due to electric field between the plates.
Here electric field E between the plates is given by ε0σ. Now, V=Ed=ε0dσ
So, any set of equidistant points between the plates will have same electric potential.
We also have electric field between the plates if a particle of mass m and charge −q remains stationary between the plates.
So, the gravitational force experienced by charge =mg
Electrostatic force experienced by the charge =qE=ε0qσ
Now, as the charge is static,
mg=qE
⇒mg=ε0qσ
⇒σ=qmgε0
Thus, E=ε0σ=ε0qmgε0=qmg
The direction of electric field is downward i.e, along −y axis.
The equipotential surface is as in shown up side.
