A point charge q is located at a distance l from an infinite conduting plane. Determine the surface density of charges induced on the plane as a function of separaction r from the base of the perpendicular drawn to the plane from the chagre.

The method of electrical images is used to solve the electrostatic problems, where charge distribution is not specified completely. The method consists of replacement of given charge distribution by a simplified charge distribution or a signal point charge or a number of point charges [rovided the original boundary conditions are still satisfied. For example consider a system consider a system containing a point charge q placed at a distance d of form an infinite conducting plane. The boundary conditions are : (i) Potential is zero at infinity (ii) Potential is zero at each point on the conducting plane If we replaced the conducting plane by a point charge (-q) placed at a distance 'd' opposite to conducting plane. The charge (-q) is called the electrical image. Now system consists of two charge +q an -q at seperation 2d . If charge +q moves to a distance 'y' from the boundary of conducting plane (now absent), the electrical image -q also moves to the same 'y' from the boundary of conducting plane, so that the new distance between +q and -q is 2y The work done in carrying charge q from distance d to distance y from earthed conducting plane is
