Explanation / Answer

given
infinite charged sheet
in y-z plane at x = 0
sigma1 = 0.27 uC /m^2
sigma2 = -0.39 uC/m^2 at x = c = 38 cm

conducting slab between x = 17 to x = 21 cm

a. Ex at P (8.5,0) cm is given by
Ex = (sigma1 + sigma2)/epsilon = -6770.76 V/m

b. at x = 17 cm
charge on conducting slab should be sigma
then from gauss law
sigma = (sigma 1 + sigma2)*(-1)/2 = 0.06 uC/m^2

c. potential differnce between point P and R is 0 V
as electric field does not vary along y axis

d. V(s) - V(p) = V(s) - V(r) = 0 V ( as electric field is constant)
