  Julian built a setup with two parallel plates separated by an insulating gap. One plate has an areal charge density +3 sigma and the other an areal charge density 2 sigma . Which direction does the net electric field inside the gap point in, if it is not zero? How large should its magnitude be, if it is not zero?
