A point charge q = +1.80 nC is 8.00 cm from a thin, flat, infinite sheet that has a uniform surface charge density. If the total electric field is zero at a point halfway between the point charge and the sheet, what is the surface charge density of the sheet? Is this positive or negative?

Question

A point charge q = +1.80 nC is 8.00 cm from a thin, flat,
infinite sheet that has a uniform surface charge density. If the total electric
field is zero at a point halfway between the point charge and the
sheet, what is the surface charge density of the sheet? Is this positive or
negative?
