Why electric field intensity due to an infinite sheet of charges does not depend on distance?

Answer»

Explanation:

By definition electric FIELD intensity at a point is defined as the force acting on a unit positive charge placed at that point .

E = F/q

The lines are all perpendicular to the SHEET, which makes them parallel to each other. They don't diverge. Their density doesn't vary with DISTANCE.
