Question
A square metal plate of edge length 9.6 cm and negligible thickness has a total charge of 5.9 × 10-6 C. (a) Estimate the magnitude E of
the electric field just off the center of the plate (at, say, a distance of 0.66 mm from the center) by assuming that the charge is spread
uniformly over the two faces of the plate. (b) Estimate E at a distance of 23 m (large relative to the plate size) by assuming that the plate
is a charged particle.
