Consider two very large conducting plates of surface A separated by a distance d (you can consider them as infinite planes). (a) If the top one carries a charge +Q and the bottom one a charge –Q, what is the electric field everywhere in space (i.e. between the planes, and outside)? (b) What is the potential difference between the plates? (c) Redo (a) and (b) if both plates carry the same charge +Q. (Q=10 C, A=10cmX10cm, d=1cm). Please explain each part.

Three conducting plates, each of thickness, d, and surface area, A, are placed one above the other with surfaces horizontal. The plates are equally spaced, with the gap between each parallel set of surfaces also being equal to d. Potential differences are placed across the plates resulting in a net charge of −4Q on the middle plate, +Q on the lower plate and +3Q on the upper plate. Ignore edge effects in answering each of the following. (a) Discuss the...
