You have infinitely wide grounded conducting plates that have a finite thickness as shown in the figure. = 4" d 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.
