Surface Charge Density

Home | Physics 2 | Electric Forces and Fields | Surface Charge Density

Two parallel charged plates, one with a surface charge density of $\eta_1$ = 40 $\frac{nC}{m^2}$ and another, $\eta_2$ = -60 $\frac{nC}{m^2}$ . Find the total electric field between the plates. (note this is not a capacitor)
