Each plate of a parallel-plate capacitor has an area of A = 0.74 m2. The plate separation is 3.0 mm, and one of these plates is shown in the figure. It carries a charge of Q = 3.5 μC, which is concentrated on its inner surface. Imagine a cylindrical Gaussian surface, of radius r = 0.015 m, whose axis is perpendicular to the plates. One end of the cylinder is inside the plate shown and the other end is located between the plates. Both ends are parallel to the plates.
