Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If the electric field due to a charged infinite plane sheet is E, what is the electric field at a point above the sheet?
  • Step 1: Understand that an infinite plane sheet has a uniform charge distribution.
  • Step 2: Know that the electric field (E) created by this charged sheet is constant.
  • Step 3: Realize that the electric field does not change with distance from the sheet.
  • Step 4: Conclude that whether you are above, below, or at the sheet, the electric field remains the same at E.
