Sheet charge density


Asked by maham237 @ in Physics viewed by 318 People


What surface charge density on an infinite sheet will produce an electric field of 1.4 kN/C?Express your answer in coulombs per meter squared.

Answered by maham237 @



Answer: σ = 2.47 × 10^-8 q/m²

Explanation: The electric field intensity and surface charge density for an infinite sheet is given as

E =σ/2ε₀

Where E = 1.4KN/c = 1400 N/c

ε₀ = permittivity of free space = 8.85×10^-12

σ = surface charge density

1400 = σ/2×8.85×10^-12

σ = 1400 × 2 × 8.85×10^-12

σ = 24780×10^-12

σ = 2.47 × 10^-8 q/m²
