1. Consider a uniformly charged conducting
plate with an infinite extent, where the sur-
face charge density is surf . We introduce a
Gaussian surface as a cylindrical pillbox of ra-
dius a, half-way submerged into the surface.
The figure below shows a chunk of the infinite
plate and the pillbox configuration.
