- Consider two infinite planes of charge. One coincides with the x-y plane and has a charge density of +9.5 x 10-12 C/m2. The second plane coincides with the y-z plane and has a charge density of -9.5 x 10-12 C/m2. Calculate the magnitude of electric field, in N/C, at any location that is not on the x-y or y-z planes. Use ε 0 = 8.9 x 10-12 F/m. (Please answer to the fourth decimal place - i.e 14.3225)arrow_forwardTwo parallel conducting plates, each of cross-sectional area 400.0 cm? are 2.0 cm apart and uncharged. If 1.0x102 electrons are transferred from one plate to the other, what are a) the charge density on each plate? b) the electric flux through a circle of radius 3 cm between the plates when the normal to the circle makes an angle of 5.0° with a line perpendicular to the plates.arrow_forwardOne of my homework problems asks this: A non-conducting sphere of radius R = 9.0 cm carries a charge Q = 5.0 mC distributed uniformly throughout its volume. At what distance, measured from the center of the sphere, does the electric field reach a value equal to half its maximum value? The correct answer is marked as 4.5 cm and 12.7 cm. I worked out: Emax = kQ/R2 for half the max electric field, i'll use R2 for radius we need to find Ehalf = kQ/2R2 = kQ/R22 giving me: R2 = square root of 2R2 = R*square root of 2 = 9*square root of 2 = 12.7 cm I am unable to figure out how 4.5 cm is also the answer.arrow_forward
