Question 59 of 90 in this shift, Physics question 29 of 30, Section B.

Three infinitely long charged thin sheets are placed as shown in figure. The magnitude of electric field at the point

P

\frac{x\sigma}{\epsilon_o}

. The value of

x

is __________ (all quantities are measured in SI units).

The figure, in words

Three parallel vertical sheets perpendicular to the X-axis: charge density -sigma at X = -a, -2sigma at X = a, and sigma at X = 3a; Y axis through origin O, Z axis drawn obliquely; point P lies between the X = a and X = 3a sheets, above the X-axis.
