A charge of 38 C is distributed evenly over a sheet ofarea 3.3m2 positioned on the y-z plane. a). Determine the chargedensity on the sheet. b). Determine themagnitude and direction of the electric field in the region x >0. c). Determine themagnitude and direction of the electric field in the region x< 0.

Explanation / Answer
note electric field cannot be determinedunless or otherwise position is specified if the plane isfinite hence we find E at a point very nearer to the plane sothat the plane can be treated as as infinite charge density=38*10-12/3.3=11.51*10-12C/m2 for x>0 E=/20=0.065N/C for x
