Question

A square conducting slab with 6 m sides carries a net charge of 88 E-6 C. (a) Find the charge density on each face of the slab and the electric field just outside one face of the slab. sigma per face= 1.222 E-6 C > CORRECT E=138079.096 N/C > CORRECT (b) The slab is placed to the right of an infinite charged nonconducting plane that lies in the yz plane at x = 0. The charge density of the infinite nonconducting plane is 2.4 mu or micro CC/m2. The faces of the slab are parallel to the plane. Find the sign and magnitude of the electric field on each side of the slab (far from its edges so edge effects can be ignored) and the charge density on each face. Ex,total(right side of slab)= 273672.3163 N/C > CORRECT Ex,total(left side of slab)= ??????? N/C sigma(right side of slab)= 2.4219 E-6 C > CORRECT sigma(left side of slab)= 0.022 E-6 C > CORRECT

Explanation / Answer

I meant only the approach was wrong. The answer is still correct. correct method would be to make the electric field inside the conductor zero using the s1 and s2 (later charge density). sigma(right) = s0 + (s/2) = 2.0361uC and sigma(left) s0 - (s/2) = - 0.06389uC sorry again I should have answered it at the first time.
