Charge of uniform surface density $8.00 \mathrm{nC} / \mathrm{m}^{2}$ is distributed over an entire $x y$ plane; charge of uniform surface density $3.00 \mathrm{nC} / \mathrm{m}^{2}$ is distributed over the parallel plane defined by $z=2.00 \mathrm{~m}$. Determine the magnitude of the electric field at any point having a $z$ coordinate of (a) $1.00 \mathrm{~m}$ and (b) $3.00 \mathrm{~m}$.

(III) Uniform plane of charge. Charge is distributed uniformly over a large square plane of side $\ell$ , as shown in Fig. $68 .$ The charge per unit area $\left( \mathrm { C } / \mathrm { m } ^ { 2 } \right)$ is $\sigma .$ Determine the electric field at a point $\mathrm { P }$ a distance $z$ above the center of the plane, in the limit $\ell \rightarrow \infty .$ [Hint: Divide the plane into long narrow strips of width $d y ,$ and use the result of Example 11 of "Electric Charge and Electric Field"; then sum the fields due to each strip to get the total field at P.]
