SOLUTION II
1) Field produced by s1 : E1 = s1 / (2e 0 ) = 3 104 V/m
E1 is smaller than E0, therefore the field produced by s2, E2 ,is aligned along the
same direction as E1 in the region between the two plains (see figure aside).
Therefore s2 is negative, and we have:
E2 = E0 - E1 = 2 104 V/m
s2 = - 2 e 0 E2 = - 3.54 10-7 C/m2
