Detailed Solution

Here, Consider a surface above any plate of area A, 

The total electric flux through this area will be ϕ=E.A, where E is the electric field.

By using gauss theorem,

ϕ=Qεo, as the plates are uniformly charged

Q=A.σ, where σ=16×10-22 C m-2

 E = σε0 =16×10-228.854×10-12

            =1.8×10-10 N C-1
