Suppose an infinitely large plane which is flat. It is positively charged with a uniform surface density p 1. Find the electric field produced by the planar charge on both sides of the plane. If you use symmetry argument you may picture the field lines. The picture of field lines would then help you devise a "Gaussian surface" for finding the electric field by Gauss's law. 2. Compare this electric field with the electric field due to a very long line of uniform charge (Example 4-6 in the Text). 3. Now imagine there are two planar sheets with charges. One is charged with a uniform surface density p. and the other -P. The two planes are placed in parallel with a distance d apart. Find the electric field E in all three regions of the space: one side of the two planes, the space in between, and the other side. Superposition principle would be useful for finding the field.
