An infinite sheet with an electric field strength of 50 N is placed 2 m away. If it is moved to 4 m, what will be the value of the electric field strength?

Answer: 50 N
Explanation
  • The electric field strength near an infinite sheet of charge is independent of the distance from the sheet and depends only on the surface charge density.
  • Therefore, the electric field strength remains constant at 50 N, even at a greater distance.
