Electric field of "half" an infinite charged sheet

Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the electric field at a point above a half-infinite charged sheet with charge density σ. The user initially attempted a double integral approach but found it complex due to symmetry issues. They then focused on integrating over the y-dimension first, leading to two separate integrals for the x and z components of the electric field. The user encountered unexpected results, including infinite values, before realizing that the problem specifically required only the z component. Ultimately, the correct answer for the z component of the electric field is σ/(4ε₀), highlighting the importance of carefully interpreting the problem requirements.

Homework Statement


A charged sheet with charge density ##\sigma## is described by ##-\infty<x<0,-\infty<y<\infty, z = 0##. Find the electric field at ##(0,0,z)##.

Homework Equations


Electric field of continuous density charged body from the Coulomb law:
$$E = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0}\int_V\frac{\vec{r} − \vec{r_0}}{|\vec{r} − \vec{r_0}|^3}\rho(\vec{r}')dV'$$

The Attempt at a Solution


First I tried to do a double integral but handling symmetry of x y at the same time seems very messy. So I did integral on y dimension first. It is infinite line of charge with density ##\sigma dx##, and the answer is $$\frac{\sigma dx}{2\pi \epsilon_0\sqrt{x^2+z^2}}$$
Then integrate the answer from ##x=-\infty## to ##x=0##.
What I did is integrate z component and x component separately, and do vector addition and take mod in the very end.
So I ended up with 2 integrals:
x component$$\frac{\sigma}{2\pi \epsilon_0}\int_{-\infty}^{0}\frac{x}{x^2+z^2}dx$$
and z component$$\frac{\sigma}{2\pi \epsilon_0}\int_{-\infty}^{0}\frac{z}{x^2+z^2}dx$$
These integral look reasonably simple, but the result I get is strange, so I guess I am wrong at some point. The first one is ##\frac{ln(x^2+z^2)}{2}##, and the definite integral gives intinity. The second one is ##arctan(\frac{x}{z})## gives ##\frac{\pi}{2}##.
I think this kind of question should have a finite answer and the answer given is $$\frac{\sigma}{4\epsilon_0}$$ which is finite. What went wrong?

Actually never mind, the question asked for z component only, I can't believe I overlooked it and spent 2 hours on this.

At first, I derived that: $$\nabla \frac 1{\mu}=-\frac 1{{\mu}^3}\left((1-\beta^2)+\frac{\dot{\vec\beta}\cdot\vec R}c\right)\vec R$$ (dot means differentiation with respect to ##t'##). I assume this result is true because it gives valid result for magnetic field. To find electric field one should also derive partial derivative of ##\vec A## with respect to ##t##. I've used chain rule, substituted ##\vec A## and used derivative of product formula. $$\frac {\partial \vec A}{\partial t}=\frac...

Hi, I'm stuck at this question, please help. Attempt to the Conducting Sphere and Dipole Problem (a) Electric Field and Potential at O due to Induced Charges $$V_O = 0$$ This potential is the sum of the potentials due to the real charges (##+q, -q##) and the induced charges on the sphere. $$V_O = V_{\text{real}} + V_{\text{induced}} = 0$$ - Electric Field at O, ##\vec{E}_O##: Since point O is inside a conductor in electrostatic equilibrium, the electric field there must be zero...
