Three large parallel conducting plates A, B and C carry charges +Q, +3Q and -2Q respectively as shown. The ratio of charge on the left surface of plate A to the charge on the right surface of plate B is :-

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

Outer surfaces of A and C share the total charge equally: each. So the left surface of A carries Q.

Facing surfaces of A and B carry equal and opposite charges: right of A = 0, left of B = 0, hence right of B = 3Q.

Ratio . Hence (B).
