JEE Main 2 April 2025, Shift 1, Physics Q37

Question 37 of 75 in this shift, Physics question 12 of 25, Section A.

Consider two infinitely large plane parallel conducting plates as shown below. The plates are uniformly charged with a surface charge density +σ+\sigma and −2σ-2\sigma. The force experienced by a point charge +q+q placed at the mid point between two plates will be :

The figure, in words

Two parallel large plates: left plate labelled +sigma, right plate labelled -2sigma, separated by distance d; point charge +q at the midpoint, distance d/2 from each plate.
