Question
Consider two infinite planes of charge. Both planes are parallel to the x-y plane. One plane is at z = 0 and has a charge density of 66.7 x 10-12 C/m2. The other plane is at z = 5.2 m and has a charge density of -69.3 x 10-12 C/m2. Calculate the magnitude (your answer should be positive) of the electric field at z = 3.1 m, in N/C. Use ?0 = 8.85 x 10-12 F/m.
(Please answer to the fourth decimal place - i.e 14.3225)
