Use Gauss’ Law to calculate the electric field due to an infinite non-conducting sheet of charge, with surface charge density
Answer
Consider a non conducting sheet with charge density σ\sigmaσ
By gauss law flux of it
ϕ=σsϵ0\phi=\frac{\sigma s}{\epsilon_0}ϕ=ϵ0σs
And by definition
ϕ=∫Edscos0°+∫Edscos0°\phi=\int Edscos0°+\int Eds cos0°ϕ=∫Edscos0°+∫Edscos0°
So
σsϵ0=2EsE=σ2ϵ0\frac{\sigma s}{\epsilon_0}=2Es\\E=\frac{\sigma }{2\epsilon_0}ϵ0σs=2EsE=2ϵ0σ
