Question

A square conducting slab with 5 meters sides and thickness0.01 meters carries a net charge of 80 C. a. Find the charge density on each face of the slab, and theelectric field just outside one face of the slab. b. The slab is placed to the right of an infinite chargednonconducting plane with charge density 2 C/m^2 so thatthe faces of the slab are parallel to the plane. Find the electricfield on each side of the slab from its edges, and the chargedensity of each face.

Explanation / Answer

Given :     Side ( a ) = 5 m Area of the square slab ( A ) = a2 = ( 5 m )2 = 25 m2      Thickness ( t ) = 0.01 m    k = 9 * 109 N.m2 /C2     Net charge ( Q ) = 80 C = 80 *10-6 C     For a square slab Charge density      = Q / A         =-------C/m2 Electric field ( E ) = k Q / r Solve it I hope it helps you Electric field ( E ) = k Q / r Solve it I hope it helps you
