Question

State Gauss’s theorem in electrostatics. Derive an expression for electric field intensity due to an infinite plane sheet of charge having surface charge density σ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Gauss Theorem: The net outward electric flux through a closed surface is equal to 1/ε0 times the net charge enclosed within the surface i.e., Let electric charge be uniformly distributed over the surface of a thin, non-conducting infinite sheet. Let the surface charge density (i.e., charge per unit surface area) be s
