The distance between the plates of a pla...

The distance between the plates of a planar capacitor is d and area of each plate is A. As shown in figure, both plates of the capacitor are grounded and a small body carrying charge Q is placed between them at a distance x from one plate.

What charge will accumulate on each plate ?
