Two metallic ...

Question

Two metallic plates are kept parallel to one another and charges are given to them as shown in figure. Find the charge on all the four faces

Open in App

Solution

Given two metal plates with say $Q_{1} = 10 μ C & Q_{2} = - 4 μ C$

Charge on outermost surfaces
$= \frac{q_{t o t a l}}{t} = \frac{(10 - 4) μ C}{2} = 3 μ C$
Hence, charges are as shown below
