The value of the electric field due to the uniformly charged plane sheet is given by
E=2ϵ0σ...(1)
Thus, the force on the electron is given by
F==−eE−2ϵ0σe...(2)
So, the acceleration of the electron is given by
a=−2ϵ0mσe
Given, u=1ms−1, t=1s and S=−1m
Using the equation of motion, it can be written that
−1=1×1−21×2ϵ0mσe×(1)2⇒σ=8eϵ0mCm−2
∴α=8.
