A small sphere of mass 2.5 × 10-5 kg carries a total charge of 6.0 × 10-8 C.The sphere hangs from a silk thread between two large parallel conducting plates.The excess charge on each plate is equal in magnitude, but opposite in sign.If the thread makes an angle of 30° with the positive plate as shown, what is the magnitude of the charge density on each plate? 
A) 2.5 × 10-9 C/m2
B) 5.2 × 10-9 C/m2
C) 1.0 × 10-9 C/m2
D) 2.1 × 10-8 C/m2
E) 4.2 × 10-8 C/m2
