Electric field due to an infinite plane sheet of charge

    Let us consider an infinite charged plane sheet with the surface charge density σ.

    Surface charge density, σ = charge/Area = q/A.

    σ is the surface charge density on both sides of the sheets.

    Electric flux at both sides of the sheet is the same as the equidistant from the sheet.

    The number of electric flux passing through both sides of the cylinder is equal.
