Can someone explain the following?
A positive charge Q is placed on a square sheet of nonconducting material of side x cm in the yz plane. What's the magnitude and direction of the electric field next to the sheet and proximate to the center of the sheet?
I don't understand why the direction of E is into the sheet. If the sheet is positively charged, wouldn't the normal vector be directed outwards?
Thank you.
