55. Equal and opposite charge is given to two parallel plates. Without any space between them, the electric field is \( 3 \times 10^{5} V / m \) and with space filled with dielectric, electric field intensity is \( 1.0 \times 10^{5} V / m \). The induced charge density on the surface of the dielectric is: (a) \( 3.44 \times 10^{-6} C / m ^{2} \) (b) \( 8.8 \times 10^{-6} C / m ^{2} \) (c) \( 6.93 \times 10^{-6} C / m ^{2} \) (d) \( 1.77 \times 10^{-6} C / m ^{2} \)

Correct Answer - D
For a thin uniformly charged spherical shell,
the field points outside the shell at a distance x from the centre is
`E=1/(4piepsilon_(0))Q/x^(2)`
If the radius of the sphere is R. `Q=sigma4piR^(2)`
`therefore" " E=1/(4piepsilon_(0))(sigma4piR^(2))/x^(2)=(sigmaR^(2))/(epsilon_(0)x^(2))`
This is inversely proportional to square of the distance from the centre. It is as if the whole charge is concentrated at the centre.
