    Force acting upon a charged particle kept between the plates of a charged condenser is \[F\]. If one plate of the condenser is removed, then the force acting on the same particle will become                                  [MP PMT 1991]

    A)                    0

    B) .                                    \[F/2\]

    C)                    \[F\]                                 

    D)            \[2F\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

               Initially F = qE and \[E=\frac{\sigma }{{{\varepsilon }_{0}}}\] \ \[F=\frac{q\sigma }{{{\varepsilon }_{0}}}\] If one plate is removed, then E becomes \[\frac{\sigma }{2{{\varepsilon }_{0}}}\] So \[F'=\frac{q\sigma }{2{{\varepsilon }_{0}}}=\frac{F}{2}\]
