8. Three large sheets of metal are placed parallel to each other as shown in the figure
(looking from the side of the sheets). The sheet on the right has a uniform charge
density of +o, and the sheet to the left has a uniform charge density of -20. An
electron is positioned right between the right sheet and the middle sheet (see figure).
What charge density should you apply to the middle sheet in order to make the electron
stand still (i.e., not experience any force)? (HINT: You don't need to know the exact
equation for electric field from a sheet to solve this).
A) -30
B) -20
C) -0
D) +o
E) +20
F) +30
