A very small styrofoam sphere with charge +2C is held 1 mm above the center of a chargedconducting sheet of size 1 m x 1 m. The sphere experiences a repulsive force of 2 N. What canwe say about the local charge density at the center of the sheet?A. The local charge density is -8.85 x 10-12 C/m2.B. The local charge density is +8.85 x 10-12 C/m2.C.
