We have two uniformly charged parallel plates, as shown. Their widths are much larger than the separation between the plates. The magnitudes of the charges on each are equal. a, b, and c indicate the regions just above, in between, and just below the plates, respectively.
Now let's suppose that the plates are squares with side length 2 cm, and that they have equal and opposite charges of magnitude 2.3 μC. What is the magnitude of the electric field in region b?
For my answer I got 2.44*10-19 N/C which is way wrong
Please show work.
Two identical charges, both labeled q1q1 in the diagram, are placed on the xx axis at (−a,0)(−a,0) and (+a,0)(+a,0). The electric field is observed at point PP, located on the yy axis at (0,+a)(0,+a). Charge q2q2 is added at the origin so that the net electric field at the observation point PP is zero.
If q1=q1=3.5 μC and a=a=4.4 m, what is the value of charge q2q2, in microcoulombs?
The given figure shows three arrangements of electric field lines. In each arrangement, a proton is released from rest at point A and is then accelerated through point B by the electric field. Points A and B have equal separations in the three arrangements. Rank the arrangements according to the linear momentum of the proton at point B, greatest first. Please use formulas and clearly explain the reasoning.

- The figure shows eight point charges arranged at the corners of a cube with sides of length d. The values of the charges are +q and −q, as shown. This is a model of one cell of a cubic ionic crystal. In sodium chloride (NaCI), for instance, the positive ions are Na+ and the negative ions are CI−. (a) Calculate the potential energy U of this arrangement. (Take as zero the potential energy of the eight charges when they are infinitely far apart.)
