Question
Two very large, flat plates are parallel to each other. Plate A, located at y=1.0cm, is along the xz plane and carries a uniform surface charge density -1.00muC/m². Plate B is located at y= -1.0cm and carries a uniform surface charge density +2.00uC/m². Find the electric field vector at the point having x,y,z coordinates ( -0.50cm, 0.00cm, 0.00cm).
