Question

Electrical Charge Distribution - 9 (a) Suppose a metal plate was charged positively. What would the charge distribution look like for the metal plate? (6) Suppose a "thick” metal plate was charged positively. What would the charge distribution look like for the metal plate? Suppose a metal plate is charged positively. What would charge distribution look like for the metal plate if you bring a positively charged object near the midpoint at the top of the plate? ©LC -25- Revised 1/17

Answer 1

we know that,

(9) when a metal plate is charged positively then the charge distribution will look like this + + + + + + + + + + + + + + A+++ + + If the plate is very thin then +++ + + + + + + + then +ve b) when thick metal plate is charged a sides of gets distributed on both the charge plate. + + + + + + + + + + ++ + + + + +++ ++ +++++ w when (C) to the plate charges the etve then the +ve bring the charge change will repel the plate because each other know like con charges repel here bring a charge when we + + + + + + + + +

Due to a positive charged, the direction of electric field points away from the charge and due to a negative charge, the direction of the electric field points towards the charge hence the net electric field due to these two charges are as follows-
