Question

Two very large (50m x 50m) and 10mm thick plastic discs have the volume charge density ρ1 = +5μC/m3 for the left disc and  ρ2 = +3μC/m3 for the right disc in the figure. The discs are placed in parallel. The adjacent surfaces of the discs are 5mm apart.

 

Use Gauss law and superposition to determine the size and direction of the electric field at the following points, far from the outer edges of these discs.

 

a) Dot A, 5mm  from the left side of the left disc

b) Dot B, 2mm  from the left side of the right disc

c) Point C, in the middle of the right disc.

**Problem Statement:**

1. Two very large (50m x 50m) and 10mm thick plastic discs have the volume charge density \( \rho_1 = +5\mu C/m^3 \) for the left disc and \( \rho_2 = +3\mu C/m^3 \) for the right disc as shown in the figure. The discs are placed in parallel. The adjacent surfaces of the discs are 5mm apart.

**Objective:**

Use Gauss's law and superposition to determine the size and direction of the electric field at the following points, far from the outer edges of these discs.

a) Dot A, 5mm from the left side of the left disc  
b) Dot B, 2mm from the left side of the right disc  
c) Point C, in the middle of the right disc  

**Diagram Explanation:**

The diagram shows two large, parallel, vertical lines representing cross-sections of the discs. The lines are spaced apart with a thinner middle section indicating the 5mm gap between the two discs. The 10mm thickness of each disc is highlighted at their respective locations.

The positions indicated in the problem are not explicitly marked on the diagram, but the distances between different features are shown with horizontal lines and distance markers representing 10 and 5 mm, which help in visualizing the setup for calculating the electric fields at the specified points.
