The field due to two parallel plates, the left with a negative surface charge density of −6.0 C/m2 whilethe sheet on the right has a positive surface charge density of +9.0 C/m2is given below. Suppose the plates were spaced 0.0020 m apart. We found that, using Gauss’s law that, independent of this distance, • In I the net field points to the left and has magnitude |Enet| = 1.69 × 1011 N/C.• In region II, between the plates, the field has magnitude 8.47×1011 N/C and points to the left• In III it points to the right and has magnitude |Enet| = 1.69 × 1011 N/C.
