Homework Equations
[tex]\Phi = \int{\vec E \cdot d\vec A}= \frac{q_{enc}}{\epsilon_0}[/tex]
The Attempt at a Solution
The positive plate is drawn to the left of the negative plate. If we draw a Gaussian surface around the inner edge of of the positive plate, we can see that E and A are both pointing in the +x direction. Therefore: [itex]\epsilon_0EA=q_{enc}[/itex]
However, I have no idea where to go from here. Certainly I can't just solve for Qenc if they give me distances between plates in the problem.
How do I continue?
