Question #258737

Two infinite and parallel sheets of charge have the same surface density. What is the field in the region between the sheets







Expert's answer

We know that

Surface charge density

σ=QA\sigma=\frac{Q}{A}



Now plate left side electric field

EL=σ2ϵ0+σ2ϵ0=0E_L=\frac{-\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}+\frac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}=0

Plate right side electric field

ER=σ2ϵ0σ2ϵ0=0E_R=\frac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}-\frac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}=0

Plate mid point electric field

Em=σ2ϵ0+σ2ϵ0=σϵ0E_m=\frac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}+\frac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}=\frac{\sigma}{\epsilon_0}

To infinite and parallel sheet between electric field

Em=σ2ϵ0+σ2ϵ0=σϵ0E_m=\frac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}+\frac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}=\frac{\sigma}{\epsilon_0}
