The figure above shows four very thin parallel planes of charge
with equal separation between them.
The charge density on plate 1 is 3 nC/m2.
The charge density on plate 2 is 4 nC/m2.
The charge density on plate 3 is 2 nC/m2.
The charge density on plate 4 is -4 nC/m2.
Your answers for the electric field must include the correct sign.
We choose positive electric field along the positive
x-direction.
I am unable to put the image but it is point A then plate 1- point B then plate 2 and so forth..
Its direction is also along positive x-axis..
So only net field at point A is along -ve x-axis while for other points it is along +ve x-axis.
