Electrostatic induction with planes -

[QUOTE="joker_900, post: 1601695, member: 41745"] [h2]Homework Statement [/h2] Two large plane parallel conducting plates are connected by a wire and are a distance D apart in a vacuum. A point charge +q is placed in the space between them and a disstance b (<D) from one of them. What proportion of the charge +q is induced on each of the two plates? [h2]Homework Equations[/h2] [h2]The Attempt at a Solution[/h2] I've been told the way to do this is to replace the point charge with a plane conducting sheet inserted between the plates a distance b from one of them, with a charge +q on it, and find the charges induced on the plates. However I can't work out how to do this. I've tried using Gauss' Law to show that the flux out of this new plate in each perpendicular direction is q/e0 and so the resultant fiels in each perpendicular direction is q/Ae0 but to no avail. Please help! [/QUOTE]
