Two large, thin metal plates are parallel and close to each other. On their inner faces, the plates have surface charge densities of opposite signs and of magnitude 17.0×10−22 C/m2. What is E:
(1) in the outer region of the first plate,
(2) in the outer region of the second plate,
(3) between the plates?
