An infinite sheet lies on the xz plane and the z-axis points outward from the page (not shown). A solid non-conducting sphere of radius R is placed at an h+r distance away from the infinite sheet. Use the following values of these quantities charge density of sphere ρ=25pC/m3, the charge density of the infinite sheet σ=45pC/m2, the radius of the solid sphere R=2.0m, the radius of the Gaussian sphere r=4.0m value of h=1.0m. (here 1pC means pico coulomb charge that is, 10−12C.)
