Consider two infinitely large plane parallel conducting plates as shown below. The plates are uniformly charged with a surface charge density $+\sigma$ and $-2 \sigma$. The force experienced by a point charge $+q$ placed at the midpoint between the two plates will be:

  • A
    $\frac{\sigma q}{4 \epsilon_0}$
  • B
    $\frac{3 \sigma q}{2 \epsilon_0}$
  • C
    $\frac{3 \sigma q}{4 \epsilon_0}$
  • D
    $\frac{\sigma q}{2 \epsilon_0}$
