Two uniformly large parallel thin plates...

Two uniformly large parallel thin plates having charge densities `+sigma and -sigma` are kept in the X-Z plane at a distance 'd' apart. Sketch an equipotential surface due to electric field between the plates. IF a particle of mass m and charge -q remains stationary between the plates, what is the magnitude and direction of this field?
