$6.2.10.$ Two infinite planes intersecting at an angle $\alpha$ divide space into four regions. What is the electric field strength in regions 1 and 2 if the surface charge density of the planes is $\pm\sigma$?

### Solution
Consider the following figure...

It's known that the electric field intensity for one of the faces of a infinite plane with surface charge density is $E = \frac{\sigma}{2\varepsilon_0}$.
For region 1 (see part $a$ of above figure):
$$
E_{R1y} = E - E \cos{\alpha} = \frac{\sigma}{2\varepsilon_0}(1-\cos{\alpha})
$$
and for $x$-direction,
$$
E_{R1x} = E \sin{\alpha} = \frac{\sigma}{2\varepsilon_0}\sin{\alpha}.
