Question

Two infinite sheets of charge are separated by 10 cm as shown in the figure. Sheet 1 has a surface charge distribution of ?1 = 2.49 ?C/m2 and sheet 2 has a surface charge distribution of ?2 = -5.47 ?C/m2. Find the x-component of the electric field at each of the following locations:

a) at point P, 6 cm to the left of sheet 1

b) at point P', 6 cm to the right of sheet 1

PLEASE WR?TE a) and b) CLEARLY

Two infinite sheets of charge are separated by 10 cm as shown in the figure. Sheet 1 has a surface charge distribution of ?1 = 2.49 ?C/m2 and sheet 2 has a surface charge distribution of ?2 = -5.47 ?C/m2. Find the x-component of the electric field at each of the following locations: at point P, 6 cm to the left of sheet 1 at point P', 6 cm to the right of sheet 1

Explanation / Answer

E from infinite plane = sigma/(2e0)

a) E2 -E1 = (5.47E-6 - 2.49E-6)/(2*8.85E-12)=
1.68E5 N/C

b) here E= E2 + E1 =
(5.47E-6 + 2.49E-6)/(2*8.85E-12)=4.50E5 N/C
