Calculate the electric field at a point 10 cm away from a uniformly charged infinite sheet with a charge density of 3.2 × 10–6 C/m2. Is the electric field directed away or towards the sheet?
💡 Hint: Remember the relationship between charge density and field direction.
Consider a situation where two infinite planes with opposite surface charge densities are placed parallel to each other. What would be the resultant electric field in the space between them?
💡 Hint: Consider how the electric fields interact in overlapping regions.
