8.4: Energy Stored in a Capacitor

In a cardiac emergency, a portable electronic device known as an automated external defibrillator (AED) can be a lifesaver. A defibrillator (Figure (PageIndex{2})) delivers a large charge in a short burst, or a shock, to a person''s heart to correct abnormal heart rhythm (an arrhythmia). A heart attack can arise from the onset of fast, irregular beating of the heart—called cardiac or ...

Field between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor using Gauss''s Law

Edit: Also, another problem I noticed was that even if we remove the negative plate from the capacitor and then apply Gauss''s Law in the same manner, the field still comes out to be $sigma/epsilon_0$ which is clearly wrong since the negative plate contributes to the field. So, maybe the problem is in the application of Gauss''s Law.
