Question

Two very large parallel sheets are 5.00 cm apart. Sheet A carries a uniform surface charge density of -9.70?C/m2 , and sheet B, which is to the right of A, carries a uniform charge of -11.4?C/m2 . Assume the sheets are large enough to be treated as infinite.

1) Find the magnitude of the net electric field these sheets produce at a point 4.00 cm to the right of sheet A.

2)Find the magnitude of the net electric field these sheets produce at a point 4.00 cm to the left of sheet A.

3)Find the direction of the net electric field these sheets produce at a point 4.00 cm to the left of sheet A.

4)Find the magnitude of the net electric field these sheets produce at a point 4.00 cm to the right of sheet B.

5)Find the direction of the net electric field these sheets produce at a point 4.00 cm to the right of sheet B.

Please show work with detailed descriptions of which formulas used.

Explanation / Answer

Here is what I solved before. Please substitute the figures as per your question. Let me know if you want some clarification on it. Please rate 5 stars if I succeeded in helping you.

Two very large parallel sheets are 5.00 cm apart. Sheet A carries a uniform surface charge density of -9.90 uC/m^2, and sheet B, which is to the right of A, carries a uniform charge of 11.6 uC/m^2. Assume the sheets are large enough to be treated as infinite.

A)Find the magnitude of the net electric field these sheets produce at a point 4.00 cm to the right of sheet A.
B)Find the direction of the net electric field these sheets produce at a point 4.00 cm to the right of sheet A.

C)Find the magnitude of the net electric field these sheets produce at a point 4.00 cm to the left of sheet A.
D)Find the direction of the net electric field these sheets produce at a point 4.00 cm to the right of sheet A.

E)Find the magnitude of the net electric field these sheets produce at a point 4.00 cm to the right of sheet B.
F)Find the direction of the net electric field these sheets produce at a point 4.00 cm to the right of sheet B.

field due to a single charged sheet given byE = charge density / 2e

a)

E net = 21.5*10^-6/2e = 1.216 *10^6 N/c

b) Enet is towards a sheet carries a uniform charge of 11.6 uC/m^2

c)Enet = 1.7*10^-6/2e = 0.096 *10^6 N/c

d)Enet is towards a sheet carries a uniform charge of 11.6 uC/m^2

e)Enet = 1.7*10^-6/2e = 0.096 *10^6 N/c

f)Enet is towards a sheet carries a uniform charge of 11.6 uC/m^2
