Answer:
The correct choice is C: points 1, 4, and 5 are equal, followed by 2 and 3 being equal.
Explanation:
Here’s the breakdown:
The electric field from the positive sheets E₁ = б/2E₀
E₂ is from the negative sheet = -б/2E₀
At points 1, 4, and 5, the electric fields created by the sheets oppose each other.
At point 1, the total field is calculated as -E₁ + E₂ = 0.
Similarly, at point A, the total field results in -E₁ - E₂ = 0.
However, at any point in between the plates, the electric field is directed consistently in one way.
At points 2 and 3, the field is directed to the right.
Thus, we have:
E net = E₁ + E₂
= б/2E₀ + -б/2E₀
=б/E₀
