Between two oppositely-charged parallel sheets, the fields of both sheets point the same way and add: E=σ/ε0E=\sigma/\varepsilon_0.

Each infinite charged sheet of surface density σ\sigma produces a field of magnitude σ/2ε0\sigma/2\varepsilon_0 on either side, directed away from a positive sheet and toward a negative sheet.
