Coulomb's Law

Three very large square planes of charge are arranged as shown (on edge) in Fig. 21-70. From left to right, the planes have charge densities per unit area of -0.50 µC/m2, +0.10 µC/m2, and -0.40 µC/m2. Find the total electric field (direction and magnitude) at the points A, B, C, and D. Assume the plates are much larger than t ...continues
