The electric field due to a infinite plane sheet is
 
begin mathsize 14px style straight E subscript 1 equals fraction numerator straight sigma over denominator 2 straight epsilon subscript 0 end fraction end style
 
Hence, the force experienced by a charge q placed near the sheet is
 
begin mathsize 14px style straight F subscript 1 equals qE subscript 1 equals fraction numerator qσ over denominator 2 straight epsilon subscript 0 end fraction end style
 
Now, the electric field due to a infinite metal plate is
 
begin mathsize 14px style straight E subscript 2 equals straight sigma over straight epsilon subscript 0 end style
 
Hence, the force experienced by a charge q placed near the plate is
 
begin mathsize 14px style straight F subscript 2 equals qE subscript 2 equals qσ over straight epsilon subscript 0 end style
 
Therefore, we get
 
begin mathsize 14px style straight F subscript 1 over straight F subscript 2 equals fraction numerator qσ over denominator 2 straight epsilon subscript 0 end fraction cross times straight epsilon subscript 0 over qσ equals 1 half end style
