1. Two semi infinite conducting plates at right angles to each other, we bring in a charge q from infinity to point (a,b) what is the energy involved in doing so?
coulomb's law and method of images in griffith.
force can be easily calculated by method of images which turns out to:
F=kq^2 [ 1/(2b)^2 - 1/(2a)^2 + 1/((2b)^2+(2a)^2)^0.5]
I can do line integral to this but before that I have to convert them to one single variable, how can i do that ?
