Question
A large sheet of charge has a uniform charge density of 9e-06 C/m2.
6a. What is the electric field due to this charge at a point just above the surface of the sheet?
6b. If you wanted to use this charged sheet to levitate particles of mass 0.02 gram, what minimum charge would the particles need to have?
This is not and will not be graded
