<h3> Statement </h3>

− $6.2.12.$ In a uniformly charged infinite plate, a spherical cavity was cut out as shown in the figure. Plate's thickness is $h$ and its bulk charge density is $\rho$. What is the electric field strength at point A? At point B? Find the dependence of the electric field strength along the line OA on the distance to the point O.

− The idea for solving this problem is to consider superposition principle: as cavity is uncharged, we can suppose that it exists a superposition of a plate (with charge density $\rho$) and a sphere with charge density $-\rho$. So, if we analyze the field in A without cavity, we have two plates of thickness $\frac{h}{2}$, one over A and the other one under A, both with charge density $\rho$, then field in A is null. While for A in the sphere's surface, applying Gauss's Law,

While for $A$ in the sphere's surface, applying Gauss's Law,
$$-E_A\cdot 4\pi\left(\frac{h}{2}\right)^2 = -\frac{q_{enc}}{\varepsilon_0}$$
as $V = \frac{4}{3}\pi\left(\frac{h}{2}\right)^3$, so $6\frac{V}{h} = 4\pi\left(\frac{h}{2}\right)^2$, and taking in account that $\rho = \frac{q_{enc}}{V}$
