wellll.......

16

|-q q | Q-q -Q+q |

| | |

Now V of left=V of right =0

V of middle = qd/Aε0 (from left)
V of middle calculationg from right... =(Q-q)3d/Aε0

both are same...

solve this.. u will get...q=3Q/4

therefore charge on right plate=-Q+q =-Q/4

initially it was zero.. so Q/4 will go to earth

(the charge on outer surface of plate is zero for grounded plate... Sir once told this.. don't know how.. if any one can tell about this...[7])

thanks dude

for 15th.. also charge on outer part of left plate will become zero... inner side remains same here... as no change in left part of middle plate..

so all Q/2 charge will go to earth...

i have a doubt in a similar question,there are three plates with equal spacing btwn them
like this

[+Q] [+7Q] [+10Q]

now the middle one is grounded,what will be the charge distrib on the left plate?

u need to tell which side of middle plate is grounded .

Vivek ·

its grounded from the centre !!!

x||Q-x x1||x2 y||10Q-y

now try that the electric filed is zero between the plates...

and then also try to put potential between the middle plate as zero.

but the problem is there are more variables than equations

Lokesh Verma ·

ok let me try

x=Q-x+x1+x2+10Q
2x=11Q+x1+x2

Q+x1=x2+10Q
x1=x2+9Q

Q+x1+x2+y=10Q-y
x1+x2+2y=9Q

now work on a charge on bringing it from infinity should be zero..

so charge on both sides from infinity should be zero!!!!
so Q+x1+x2+10Q=0!

There can be one more equation but I am assuming that it will be redundant!

thanks sir,
didn't think abt the work done condition before

It was a very good question vivek..

I guess even I had never solved one problem of this type before!
