In a particular region of Earth's atmosphere, the electric field above Earth's surface has been measured to be 151 N/C downward at an altitude of 280 m and 167 N/C downward at an altitude of 430 m. Calculate the volume charge density of the atmosphere, assuming it to be uniform between 280 and 430 m. (Hint: You may neglect the curvature of Earth. Why?)
I tried using E=pz/ε, where E was 151+167 and z was (430-280)/2, half the distance between the ends, and got, 3.75E-11 C/m^3, but that was wrong as the online software told me. What should I do?
