To solve the problem step by step, we need to calculate the force exerted by a large non-conducting surface with a given surface charge density on a point charge placed at a certain distance from the surface. ### Step 1: Identify the given values - Surface charge density, \( \sigma = 5 \, \mu C/m^2 = 5 \times 10^{-6} \, C/m^2 \) - Point charge, \( Q = 2 \, \mu C = 2 \times 10^{-6} \, C \) - Distance from the surface, \( d = 2 \, cm = 0.02 \, m \) ### Step 2: Calculate the electric field due to the infinite surface ...
