    The earth's electric field is 150 N/C directed downward. This means the charge density σ of the earth is 300ε0 = 2.66 × 10-9 C/m2 and is negative based on the relationship between electric field strength, charge density, and the permittivity of free space.

    21.52: The earth’s electric field is 150 N C, directly downward.

    So,
    σ 2
    E = 150 = ⇒ σ = 300 ε0 = 2.66 × 10 −9 C m , and is negative.
    2 ε0
