Two charged thin infinite plane sheets of uniform charge density σ+ and σ-, where σ+>σ, intersect at the right angle. Which of the following best represents the electric field lines for the system:
  1.  
  2.  
  3.  

Solution

The electric field intensity due to each uniformly charged infinite plane is uniform. The electric field intensity at points A, B, C and D  as shown in figure. Hence, the electric lines of forces are as given in below figure.
