Transcribed Image Text:Consider an infinite plane of charge with a charge density of +10 µC/m².
Assume that this plane is on the y-and z-axes. That is, assume it is
perpendicular to the x-axis and that it passes through the origin.
a) What would be the electric field strength and direction at the point (5 m, 0,
0)?
The strength is
N/C
The direction is
b) What would be the electric field strength and direction at the point (100 m,
0, 0)?
The strength is
N/C
The direction is
c) What would be the electric field strength and direction at the point (200 m,
200 m, 200 m)?
The strength is
N/C
The direction is
Now, place another plane of charge into the picture. This plane of charge has
a charge density of -10 µC/m². It is parallel to the first plane of charge and it
passes through the point (10 m, 0, 0).
d) Find the electric field strength in the region to the right of this second plane
of charge (at x>10).
The strength is
N/C
e) Find the electric field strength in the region to the left of the first plane of
charge (at x<0).
The strength is
N/C
f) Find the electric field strength and direction in the region between the 2
planes of charge (between x = 0 and x = 10 m)
The strength is
N/C
The direction is
