Look at the top and bottom figure here:

One is a sheet of charge where the E field is on top and bottom. The other is where the E field is only on one side.

 How can we derive the formula for '2)infinite conducting charged sheet whose formula is E = σ/ϵo' i am not cleared about the second point. what will be the pattern of charge distribution on the conductor and how it can be derived through direct integration?

Are you not familiar with Gauss's law?

 I am learning gauss law and is not perfect in it
 Thank you very much for your valuable reply. I have got my answer after some trial and error. thank you very much.
