Homework Statement
In a particular region of the Earth's atmosphere, the electric field above the Earth's surface has been measured to be 148 N/C downward at an altitude of 260 m and 165 N/C downward at an altitude of 410 m. Calculate the volume charge density of the atmosphere, assuming it to be uniform between 260 and 410 m. (Hint: You may neglect the curvature of the earth. Why?)
Homework Equations
volume charge density = Q/V
The Attempt at a Solution
No clue where to even start. And why they gave me two altitudes and E fields
