You have infinitely wide grounded conducting plates that have a finite thickness as shown in the figure. 바 ut H₁ Z q origin X tH tH = We want to find the voltage V(r) in the space between the conductors. A friend proposes to use the method of images. Their idea is to put i) a negative charge -q a distance d above the bottom surface of the top plate (at z 3d) and ii) put a negative charge -q at a distance d below the top surface of the bottom plate (at z = -d). Is the potential of the image charge distribution proposed a valid solution for the original problem? Briefly justify your answer.
4. Three conductor plates (Figure 2) are placed vertically and loaded Q1, Q2, and Q3 charges respectively. Both the sides of plates have surface charge density σ and σb (i=1, 2, and 3). If the surface area of each plate is A and the distance between plates is t, then calculate the surface charge densities σ, and σ for each plate. Note: consider that the plate is large enough to use infinitive symmetry approach. 01a 01b 02a 02b Оза 03b Q1 Q2 Q3 Figure 4
