Two metallic plates are kept parallel to...

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.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Charge on outermost surfaces
`=q_(t otal)/2=((10-4)muC)/2`
`=3muC`
Hence, charge are as shown below.
