Question
Two large rectangular sheets of charge of side L are separated by a distance d (d << L) have a surface charge density of 4.3 μC/m2. Take +x to be to the right.
σ = 4.3 μC/m2
a)Enter the value of the electric field, in newtons per coulomb, at point A. Assume point A is 0.1 d from the surface of the left sheet.
b) Enter the value of the electric field, in newtons per coulomb, at point B. Assume point B is 0.25 d from the surface of the left sheet.
c)Enter the value of the electric field, in newtons per coulomb, at point D. Assume point D is 0.1 d from the surface of the right sheet.
