JEE Main 2024 — 6 April, Shift 1 — Question 51

Three infinitely long charged thin sheets are placed as shown in figure. The magnitude of electric field at the point P is xσϵ0\frac{\mathrm{x} \sigma}{\epsilon_{0}}. The value of x is \qquad

(all quantities are measured in SI units).

Question figure

Answer: 2

Numerical answer — enter this value.

Step-by-step solution

\begin{array}{*{35}{r}}{{{\text{\overrightarrow E}}}_{\text{p}}} & ~=\left( \frac{\sigma }{2{{\varepsilon }_{0}}}+\frac{2\sigma }{2{{\varepsilon }_{0}}}+\frac{\sigma }{2{{\varepsilon }_{0}}} \right)\left( -\overset{\text{}}{\mathop{\text{i}}}\, \right) \\{} & ~=-\frac{2\sigma }{{{\varepsilon }_{0}}}\overset{\text{}}{\mathop{\text{i}}}\, \\\end{array}
