Question

A thin, horizontal, 11-cm-diameter copper plate is charged to -2.9 nC. Assume that the electrons are uniformly distributed on the surface.

Part A:
What is the strength of the electric field 0.1 mm above the center of the top surface of the plate?

Part B:What is the direction of the electric field 0.1 mm above the center of the top surface of the plate?

Part C:
What is the strength of the electric field at the plate's center of mass?

Part D: What is the strength of the electric field 0.1 mm below the center of the bottom surface of the plate?

Part E: What is the direction of the electric field 0.1 mm below the center of the bottom surface of the plate?What is the direction of the electric field 0.1 mm below the center of the bottom surface of the plate?
