- The magnitude of the electric field from a single
- positively charged electric plate is given by
-
-
-
-
-
- where s is the charge density,
-
-
-
-
- The field lines are directed away from the
- positive plate. A negatively charged plate of the
- same charge density has a field equal in magnitude
- to the positively charged one.
-
-
-
- However the field lines are directed toward the plate.
