Question: 
Figure 1. This is an infinitely large sheet with uniform surface charge density m A cylindrical Guassian surface (dashed line) witn length 2d and a circular face radius r is bisected by the infinite 
plane. 
An infinite plane ot charge has a surface charge density Ota = 3.86gC/m . Consider a Gaussian surface, a cylinder with radius r = 3.61 cm and length 2d = 31.18 cm centred on the plane so 
that the circular faces of the Gaussian surface are parallel to the plane. 
part 1) 
What charge is enclosed within the cylindrical Gaussian surface? 
c 
part 2) 
What is the electric field strength at a perpendicular distance d 
part 3) 
What is the electric field strength at a perpendicular distance 2d 
15.59 cm from the plane ot charge? 
31.18 cm trom the plane of charge?

Feedback tor Part 1) 
The enclosed charge is given by m•2a as the surface area ottne circle is and the surface charge density is a. Make sure you convert r from cm to m and fftromgC/m to C/m

Figure 1 _ The electric field vectors E are perpendicular to the charged plate. Also the area vectors dA of the Gaussian surface are perpendicular to each surface otthe cylinder 
dA and E are parallel for the circular ends ot the cylinder but are perpendicular for the rest ot the surface, thus only the two circular ends contribute to the integral
