This is a matter of limits. If you are measuring the electric field at a point that is a distance off of an infinite sheet of charge the direction of the electric field will be perpendicular to the sheet due to the symmetry of the situation. We can think of the radius as the distance between a point on the sheet and the normal line to the sheet that passes through the point where the electric field is being considered. If we look at the addition to the electric field from the charge on the sheet as this radius approaches infinity the component of the electric field in the direction of the net electric field will approach 0.
P.S. Drawing a diagram of the situation with arrows denoting the directions of force from different parts of the sheet can be very helpful in understanding.

What is the application of Gauss's Law in determining the electric field produced by an infinite sheet of charge?
Gauss's Law can be used to determine the electric field produced by an infinite sheet of charge by considering a Gaussian surface that encloses the sheet. The electric field is found to be uniform and perpendicular to the sheet, with a magnitude proportional to the surface charge density.
Can Gauss's law be applied to sheet of charge?
no gauss low is only applicable for closed paths. a plane sheet is not a closed path. for applying gauss law the charge must be inside the closed loop or path... ========================== I'll say "yes". Gauss' law says that the electric flux through a closed surface is proportional to the amount of charge inside the closed surface. The shape of the surface doesn't matter, and the shape of the charge distribution inside it doesn't matter either. If a closed surface encloses a part of a sheet of charge, then the flux through the surface is proportional to the amount of charge that's on the part of the sheet inside the surface. That doesn't bother me at all.
What is meant by charged metallic plate?
A charged metallic plate is a thin rectangular (or square) sheet that carries a surface charge. Because metal is a conductor, you can assume that the surface charge is spread uniformly over the area of the plate.
What is the total electric field between two very large, nonconducting plastic sheets, each 10.0 cm thick, that carry uniform charge densities?
The total electric field between two large, nonconducting plastic sheets with uniform charge densities can be calculated by adding the electric fields produced by each sheet.
What is the relationship between the surface current density and the magnetic field on a current sheet?
The surface current density on a current sheet is directly proportional to the magnetic field it produces. This means that as the surface current density increases, the strength of the magnetic field also increases.

Where is the electric field in conducting and non-conducting sheets?
In a conducting sheet, the electric field is zero inside the material but can exist on the surface due to excess charge redistribution. In a non-conducting sheet, the electric field can exist both inside the material and on the surface, depending on the charge distribution.
Where can you get sheet music for the electric base?

Why field is independent of distance from infinite sheet of charge?
If you have an infinite sheet of charge, it is all you can see, in that direction. If it is (let us say) in front of you, then that is all you can see to the front, it has no visible edge, you can see nothing on the other side of it (you could see something in front of it, but that is beyond the parameters of the stated problem). No matter how close or how far away you may be, it looks exactly the same. It will never look any smaller as it recedes into the distance, unlike finite objects. Vision is also a form of electromagnetism. If we were talking about light emission, the amount of light you would receive from an infinite glowing sheet would always be the same, at any distance. So any other electromagnetic effect will work the same way. Technically, what is happening is that as you move farther away, you get less field from the closer parts of the infinite sheet, but you are also exposed to more of the sheet, in exactly the same proportion.

Is electric instrument sheet music the same as regular sheet music?
There is no difference in the sheet music used for electric and acoustic instruments. Both use the same sheet music so that the same notes are played and in the same way.
