Assume a point charge Q above an infinite conducting plane at y = 0.

a) Prove that V(x, y, z)in Eq. (4 - 37) satisfies Laplace's equation if the conducting plane is maintained at zero potential.


b) What should the expression for V(x, y, z)be if the conducting plane has a nonzero potential V0?


c) What is the electrostatic force of attraction between the chargeQ and the conducting plane?
