Answer

$8.85\times 10^{-6}C/m^2$

Work Step by Step

We can find the change in the charge density as follows: $\Delta E=\frac{\Delta \sigma}{\epsilon_{\circ}}$ This can be rearranged as: $\Delta \sigma=\epsilon_{\circ}\Delta E$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $\Delta \sigma=(8.85\times 10^{-12})[7.0\times 10^5-(-3.0\times 10^5)]$ $\Delta \sigma=8.85\times 10^{-6}C/m^2$
