A large, flat, horizontal sheet of charge has a charge per unit area of 8.90 µC/m2. Find the electric field just above the middle of the sheet.

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Charge density [tex]\sigma =8.90\ \mu C/m^2[/tex]

We know that electric field due to a large flat horizontal sheet is given by

[tex]E=\frac{\sigma }{2\epsilon _0}[/tex]

where [tex]\epsilon =[/tex]space Permittivity

[tex]\epsilon _0=8.85\times 10^{-12}\ C^2/N.m^2[/tex]

substituting values we get

[tex]E=\frac{8.90\times 10^{-6}}{2\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}}[/tex]

[tex]E=5.02\times 10^{5}\ N/C[/tex]
