Chapter 23, Problem 40P

Figure 23-50 show’s a very large nonconducting sheet that has a uniform surface charge density of σ = −2.00µC/m²; it also show a particle of charge Q = 6.00 µ c, at distance d from the sheet. Both are fixed in place. If d = 0.200 m, at what (a) positive and (b) negative coordinate on the x axis (other than infinity) is the net electric field ${\stackrel{\to }{E}}_{\text{net}}$ of the sheet and particle zero? (c) If d = 0.800 m. at what coordinate on the x axis is ${\stackrel{\to }{E}}_{\text{net}}$ = 0?
