Electric Intensity Due To An Infinite Sheet Of Charge. Assume we have a plane sheet of infinite extent on which the positive charges are uniformly distributed.
Now imagine a cylinder passing through this sheet.
The charge enclosed by the surface is A.
The first face of the infinite sheet
1=E.Acos
cos=1
1=E.A
Second face of the infinite sheet
2=E.Acos
cos=1
2=E.A
Third face of the infinite sheet
3=E.Acos
cos=0
3=0
The total net flux will be determined by
=1+2+3
=E.A+E.A+0
=2E.A
According to the Gauss’s law
=1Qt
Since is the charge density, Q can be considered as Q=.A
1A
2E.A=1A
A and A will be canceled out.
This leads us to
2E=1
2E=
E=2
