A charge q is positioned at point (0,0,d) above a grounded conducting plate (V=0 on the plate). Use the method of images (see lecture notes) to find the electric field on the plate. Since the electric field inside the conductor is zero (charges are not moving), use Gauss’s Law to find the surface charge density σ(r) on the plate and show that the total charge on the plate is –q.

Select Tru or False. 1. A conducting sphere with charge Q at equilibrium has zero E field inside it. The E field outside is the same as that of a point charge Q, E=keQ/r2. The potential outside it is the same as that of a point charge Q. V= keQ/r. (r is the distance to the center). The potential inside the conducting sphere is equal to the potential at its surface. V= keQ/R. (R is the radius of the sphere)...

4. Two charges are located above a grounded conducting plane defined by 0: a charge q at r 0.0 d) and a charge-21 at r= (d, d, d) . Find the force on the first charge.
(a) We have said that Gauss’s law is always true, but only useful for calculating the electric field created by source charge distributions that are spheres, infinite straight cylinders, and infinite flat sheets, and even those cases have additional restrictions. Explain why we are limited to those distributions. Discuss what additional restrictions apply. For example, can we use Gauss’s law to find the field of a sphere whose density depends on distance r from the center? Can we do it...
Problem 2 - Point charge and plane (20 pts) A point charge q (q>0) is located a distance d above an infinite conducting plane lying in the x-y plane. The plane is connected to the ground (Fig.1), so that the electric potential V at any point on the plane satisfies V=0. Calculating the electric potential generated by the point charge-grounded plane combination at any point P is more complicated than it looks because the conducting plane pulls some electric charge...
