A point charge of mass 0.185 kg, and net charge +0.340 µC, hangs at rest at the end of an insulating cord above a large sheet of charge. The horizontal sheet of fixed uniform charge creates a uniform vertical electric field in the vicinity of the point charge. The tension in the cord is measured to be 5.18 N. Calculate the magnitude and direction of the electric field due to the sheet of charge (Fig. 16–67). Q=0.340 µC m=0.185 kg Uniform sheet of charge FIGURE 16-67 Problem 61. 100
