Electric field due to an infinite, thin non-conducting sheet
A sheet of thin plastic wrap, uniformly charged on one side can act as a thin sheet of charge.
The field has a planar symmetry. We will take a Gaussian box to enclose the charge distribution.


Applications of above result
Two parallel sheets are given surface charge densities
1 and
2. Electric fields in different regions are as shown

Consider the following specific cases:
(i) When
1 =
,
2 =
, the situation will be like the one shown below

(ii) When
1 =
,
2 = -
, the situation will be like the one shown below
