As we learned

 

infinite thin plate sheet of charge -

E=\frac{\sigma }{2\epsilon _{0}}\left ( E\propto r^{0} \right )

V=\frac{\sigma r }{2\epsilon _{0}}+c

- wherein

 

 

 T\sin \theta =qE

T\cos \theta =mg

\Rightarrow \tan \theta =\frac{qE}{mg}=\frac{q}{mg}\left ( \frac{\sigma }{2\varepsilon _{0}} \right )

\Rightarrow \sigma \alpha \tan \theta .


Option 1)

\sin \theta

 

 

 

Option 2)

\tan \theta

Option 3)

\cos \theta

Option 4)

\cot \theta
