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

As per this diagram a point charge +q is placed at the origin O . Work done in taking another point charge -Q from the point A(0, a) to another point B(a, 0) along the staight path AB is:
