Two extremely large nonconducting horizontal sheets each carry uniform charge density on the surfaces facing each other. The upp

er sheet carries +5.00 µC/m2. The electric field midway between the sheets is 4.25 × 105 N/C pointing downward. What is the surface charge density on the lower sheet? (ε0 = 8.85 × 10-12 C2/N · m2)

This problem refers to a parallel plate capacitor. There is an electric field between the two plates. The working equation to be used is the Gauss’s Law which is

Electric field = Surface charge density / ε0

The answer is -2.52 μC/m2.
