Problem 13: A thin conducting plate with side lengths L is given charge q. An electron is positioneda distance d above the center of
the plate. Assume that d < L. (The symbol "<" indicates that d is very small as compared to L.)
Part (a) Enter an expression, in Cartesian unit-vector notation, for the acceleration, a, of the electron.
In an electrically neutral insulator, electrons are *not* able to move around freely as they can in a conductor. How, then, is it possible for an external electric field to induce a charge distribution in a chunk of insulating material?
A solid chunk of copper has a net charge of Q. If the conductor is in electrostatic equilibrium, what are three
known properties about its charge distribution and its electric field?
