The field just outside an infinite charged plane sheet is uniform and equal to σ/2ε0\sigma/2\varepsilon_0, independent of distance.

By Gauss's law, the electric field just outside (near the surface of, measured from the mid-point of) an infinite plane sheet of surface charge density σ\sigma is

E=σ2ε0E = \dfrac{\sigma}{2\varepsilon_0}
