1.Two plates placed a distance "D" apart. One charged +Q, the other -Q. An uncharged slab of metal is placed between the plates.
2. Does this slab change the electric field outside or between the plates (but outside the slab)? Do forces exerted on particle sitting between the plates (but outside the slab) change in any way with the slab as compared to before it was placed between the plates?
3. The slab acts as a conductor with zero net electrical force. I have no clue about the rest? Does the E-field increase between the plates because of the slab?
BONUS...same situation as in (1), but the plates are discharged, and a battery is hooked up with voltage V. An uncharged slab is again placed between the plates. Describe the e-field inside the metal slab...
