Question
### Conductive Plates and Electric Fields

**Problem Statement:**

An infinite conductive plate with charge density \(\sigma_1\) is brought from infinity and placed between \(x = 0\) and \(x = 1 \, \text{m}\). A second infinite conductive plate with charge density \(\sigma_2\) is brought from infinity and placed between \(x = 5\) and \(x = 6 \, \text{m}\). 

**Tasks:**

a) Find the electric field at the following locations:
   - (i) (-6, 0)
   - (ii) (-4, 2)
   - (iii) (0.5, 0)
   - (iv) (2, 0)
   - (v) (5.5, 0)
   - (vi) (7, 0)

b) Find the electric potential at the following locations:
   - (i) (-6, 0)
   - (ii) (-4, 2)
   - (iii) (0.5, 0)
   - (iv) (2, 0)
   - (v) (5.5, 0)
   - (vi) (7, 0)

**Additional Information:**
- \(\sigma_1 = 3 \times 10^{-10} \, \text{C/m}^2\)
- \(\sigma_2 = -4 \times 10^{-10} \, \text{C/m}^2\)
- \(V = 0 \, \text{at} \, x = 1\)

**Diagram Explanation:**

- The diagram includes a number line representing the \(x\)-axis in meters.
- Two shaded regions indicate the positions of the two conductive plates:
  - The first plate is between \(x = 0\) and \(x = 1\).
  - The second plate is between \(x = 5\) and \(x = 6\).

These plates influence the electric field and potential at the specified points, which are located at different positions along the number line.
