उत्तर
Which is same in both the case so it is independent of the size and shape of the closed surface
Let `hat6` be the unit vector directed from left to right
Let P and Q are two points in the inner and outer region of two plates respectively charge densities on plates are + `sigma and -2sigma`
(i) Electric field at point P in the inner region of the plates
`vec"E"_1 = sigma/(2epsilon_0) hat"r" and vec"E"_2 = (2sigma)/(2epsilon_0)hat"r"`
∴ Net electric field in the inner region of the plates (i.e., at P) is
`vec"E" = vec"E"_1 vec"E"_2`
`vec"E" = (sigma/(2epsilon_0)+ sigma/epsilon_0)hat"r"`
`vec"E" = (3sigma)/(2epsilon_0)hat"r"`
(ii) Electric field at point Q in the outer region of plate 1
`vec"E"_1 = sigma/(2epsilon_0)(-hat"r") and vec"E"_2 = (2sigma)/(2epsilon_0)hat"r"`
∴ Net electric field in the outer region of plate 1 (i.e. at Q ) is
`vec"E" = vec"E"_1 + vec"E"_2 = (sigma/epsilon_0 - sigma/(2epsilon_0))hat"r"`
`vec"E" = sigma/(2epsilon_0)hat"r"`
