In the figure, a very large plane sheet of positive charge is shown. $P_{1}$ and $P_{2}$ are two points at distance $l$ and $2 l$ from the charge distribution. If $σ$ is the surface charge density, then the magnitude of electric fields $E_{1}$ and $E_{2}$ at $P_{1}$ and $P_{2}$ respectively are

The electric field due to a large uniformly charged non-conducting sheet is given by, E = σ 2 ε o . It is independent of the distance from the sheet. Therefore, E 1 = E 2 = σ 2 ε o
