Question

State Gauss's law in electrostatics. Apply this to obtain the electric field E at a point near a uniformly charged infinite plane sheet:

Answer 1

Gauss’s Law and Electric Field for a Plane Sheet} Gauss’s Law states: \[ \oint \mathbf{E} \cdot d\mathbf{S} = \frac{q}{\epsilon_0} \] For a uniformly charged infinite sheet, the electric field is given by: \[ E = \frac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0} \]
