A flat, wide cloud floats horizontally a few kilometers above the surface of Earth. Its lower surface carries a uniform surface charge density of -2.6×10-4 C/m2 , while there is no excess charge elsewhere in the cloud. What is the magnitude of the electric field, in newtons per coulomb, a few meters below the cloud, under the cloud’s approximate center, due to the charge distribution?

hi there!

out of the two, (b) precision would be more reasonable.   however, both a and b could be pretty reasonable.

answer and explanation;

electromagnetic shielding is the practice of reducing the electromagnetic field in a space by blocking the field with barriers made of conductive or magnetic materials. shielding is typically applied to enclosures to isolate electrical devices from their surroundings, and to cables to isolate wires from the environment through which the cable runs. electromagnetic shielding that blocks radio frequency electromagnetic radiation is also known as rf shielding.

the shielding can reduce the coupling of radio waves, electromagnetic fields and electrostatic fields. a conductive enclosure used to block electrostatic fields is also known as a faraday cage. the amount of reduction depends very much upon the material used, its thickness, the size of the shielded volume and the frequency of the fields of interest and the size, shape and orientation of apertures in a shield to an incident electromagnetic
