Charge induction


Quote by Pranav-Arora View Post
The initial charge on both the surfaces were Q/2, when we place the plate in electric field, the final charge will be Q/2-AEεo and Q/2+AEεo, am i right?
It is correct.

Ah, thanks ehild! But i am still confused on which surface, Q/2-AEεo or Q/2+AEεo will reside? Any clarification on that will help.

The charge will reside on both surfaces of the plate. If the applied electric field points to the right, Q/2+AEε0 charge is on the right-hand side surface of the plate and Q/2-AEεo is on the left-hand side.
