Let us consider an infinite plane charged conducting plate. Now the charge distributes on both sides of the conducting plate. The field of such charged plate arises from the super-position of the fields of two sheets of charge. Can you guess the value of E for points outside the plate ? What will be the field inside the plate, and why?

`E=(sigma)/(in_0)` and inside the plate E=0.
