    The electric field from an infinite sheet of charge is perpendicular to the surface of the sheet. For a cylindrical Gaussian surface perpendicular to the charge sheet, only the ends contribute to the electric flux. The resulting electric field is half of what would be produced by a conductor at equilibrium with the same surface charge density.

    Electric Field: Sheet of Charge

    For an infinite sheet of charge, the electric field will be perpendicular to the surface. Therefore
    only the ends of a cylindrical Gaussian surface will contribute to the electric flux . In this case a
    cylindrical Gaussian surface perpendicular to the charge sheet is used. The resulting field is half
    that of a conductor at equilibrium with this surface charge density.
