Question

AB and CD are two large non parallel metallic plates connected to a battery as shown. If σA and σB be charge densities at points A and B respectively then :

Options

A.σA > σB
B.σA < σB
C.σA ≥ σB
D.σA ≤ σB

Solution

The potential in each of the plate remains same.

i.e.     VAC = VBD         ⇒    EAC × l1 = EBD × l2
⇒    EAC < EBD            (as l1 > l2)
∴     σA   < σB                 (since, E α σ)
