I'm kind of confused by the wording, but my guess of what you are saying is referring to the charges separating out to each side of the plate, one being negative and one being positive. Yes?

Charge is only ever on the surface, and the interior has a 0 charge. I also know, as mentioned in the equation (and from my reading) that a conductors equation is: E=\frac{\sigma}{2\epsilon{0}} While a nonconductor is E=\frac{\sigma}{\epsilon{0}} I also know that finding the surface density...

Homework Statement A square plate of copper with 50.0-cm sides has no net charge and is placed in a region of uniform electric field of 80.0 kN/C directed perpendicularly to the plate. Find: (a) the charge density of each face of the plate and (b) the total charge on each face Homework...
