Question
**Problem Statement:**

Two infinite nonconducting plates are parallel to each other, with a distance \( d = 12.0 \: \text{cm} \) between them. Each plate carries a uniform charge distribution with the surface charge density \( \sigma = 4.28 \: \mu \text{C/m}^2 \). What is the magnitude of the electric field at point \( R \) (with \( r = 17.0 \: \text{cm} \))?

**Figure Description:**

The diagram shows two infinite parallel plates, each with surface charge density \( \sigma \). The distance between the plates is labeled \( d \). Point \( R \) is located at a horizontal distance \( r \) from the left plate, and a variable \( x \) is present along the horizontal axis.

**Options:**

- \( 0.00 \: \text{N/C} \)
- \( 4.84 \times 10^5 \: \text{N/C} \)
- \( 5.80 \times 10^5 \: \text{N/C} \)
- \( 3.87 \times 10^5 \: \text{N/C} \)
- \( 3.39 \times 10^5 \: \text{N/C} \)

In the diagram provided:
- \( d \) represents the distance between the plates (12.0 cm).
- \( r \) represents the distance of point \( R \) from the left plate (17.0 cm).
