    zero as $r$ increases for $r < R$,decreases as $r$ increases for $r > R$
  • C
    zero as $r$ increases for $r < R$,increases as $r$ increases for $r > R$
  • D
    decreases as $r$ increases for $r < R$ and for $r > R$

An electron is moving under the influence of the electric field of a uniformly charged infinite plane sheet $S$ having surface charge density $+\sigma$. The electron at $t=0$ is at a distance of $1 \,m$ from $S$ and has a speed of $1 \,m/s$. The maximum value of $\sigma$ if the electron strikes $S$ at $t=1 \,s$ is $\alpha \left[ \frac{m \epsilon_0}{e} \right] \,C/m^2$. The value of $\alpha$ is:
