Gauss’s Law:
The total electric flux through a closed surface is 1/εo times the charge enclosed in the surface i.e.
But we know that Electrical flux through a closed surface is
Where, E = electric field, q = charge enclosed in the surface, and εo = permittivity of free space.
Derivation:
The electric field at a point due to an infinite sheet of charge is
Where
σ = surface charge density.
Here,
E1: Electric Field due to sheet having surface charge density +σ
E2: Electric Field due to sheet having surface charge density -σ
The electric field at any point in the region between the plates is
E = E1 + E2
