To solve the problem of calculating the work done to slowly remove a point charge \( q \) located at a distance \( l \) from an infinite conducting plane, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the System We have a point charge \( q \) placed at a distance \( l \) from an infinite conducting plane. When a charge is near a conducting plane, it induces a charge on the plane, which can be modeled using the method of images. ### Step 2: Use the Method of Images To simplify the problem, we can replace the conducting plane with an imaginary charge of \(-q\) located at a distance \( l \) on the opposite side of the plane. This means we have: - The real charge \( q \) at position \( (0, 0, l) \) ...
