Chapter 21, Problem 87GP
Three very large square planes of charge are arranged as shown (on edge) in Fig. 21–77. From left to right, the planes have charge densities per unit area of − 0.50 μC/m2, +0.25 μC/m2, and −0.35 μC/m2. Find the total electric field (direction and magnitude) at the points A, B, C, and D. Assume the plates are much larger than the distance AD.
