Wow thank you so much SammyS. I cannot believe I forgot that the area inside the conductor would not contain an electric field, therefore no contribute to the potential change. True testament to the need to simply think the problem through completely. Thanks again.
Homework Statement
An infinite sheet of charge is located in the y-z plane at x = 0 and has uniform charge denisity σ1 = 0.57 μC/m2. Another infinite sheet of charge with uniform charge density σ2 = -0.39 μC/m2 is located at x = c = 28.0 cm.. An uncharged infinite conducting slab is placed...
