    Answer:

    The surface charge density of the sheet is 1547.516 C/m²

    Explanation:

    Given;

    force experienced by the proton, F = 14.0 μN

    Electric field near an infinite sheet with surface charge density (σ) is given as;

    E = σ/2ε₀

    The force of attraction the proton experienced towards the sheet;

    F = Eq

    F = q(σ/2ε₀) = \frac{q \sigma}{2 \epsilon_o}

    where;

    q is the charge of the proton

    σ is the surface charge density of the sheet

    ε₀ is the permittivity of free space

    F = \frac{q \sigma}{2 \epsilon_o} \\\\\sigma = \frac{2F \epsilon_o}{q} \\\\\sigma = \frac{2*14*10^{-6}*8.854*10^{-12}}{1.602*10^{-19}} = 1547.516 \ C/m^2

    Therefore, the surface charge density of the sheet is 1547.516 C/m²
