Consider an infinitely long flat sheet of charges of width 2a. It is parallel to the axis y and lies in (xy) plane in between x=-a and x=+a. The charges are distributed uniformly, with surface density σ. Find an expression for the electrostatic field E at height Z above the midline of the charged sheet (i.e. above y axis).

Hint: As a starting point, you can use the formula for infinitely long line of charges.
