one conducting plate is at origin of xy plane. and +q is at distance of d from y-axis in the direction of z axis. then what is induced charge in conducting plate & how charge is distributed on plate?
Induced charge in conducting plate refers to the redistribution of electric charges on a conducting plate when it is brought near an electric field. This redistribution occurs due to the influence of the electric field on the charges in the plate, causing them to move and accumulate on one side of the plate.
Induced charge is a temporary redistribution of charges, while static charge is a permanent accumulation of charges on an object. Induced charge occurs in response to an external electric field, while static charge can be created through rubbing or other means.
The magnitude of induced charge depends on the strength of the external electric field, the distance between the conducting plate and the source of the field, and the size and shape of the conducting plate.
The shape of a conducting plate can affect the distribution of induced charge because it determines the surface area of the plate and how the charges are able to move and accumulate. For example, a curved plate will have a different distribution of charge compared to a flat plate.
Induced charge can be controlled to some extent by adjusting the external electric field, the distance between the plate and the source of the field, and the shape of the plate. However, it is ultimately dependent on the properties and geometry of the conducting plate and the strength of the external electric field.
