Force between the plates of a capacitor with dielectric slab inserted

[QUOTE="kuruman, post: 6852736, member: 192687"] I went by the drawing that shows the bottom Gaussian surface in the yellow region of the conductor. As long as that is the case, the field at the surface is zero. If the bottom Gaussian surface at the interface between conductor and dielectric, the electric field is discontinuous right at the surface. I don't think that it is possible to have a Gaussian surface bottom face inside the conductor and at the same time exclude the negative free charge which is right at the interface between the conductor and the dielectric. If the bottom Gaussian surface is right at the interface, is the free charge enclosed or not enclosed? Is the electric field, which is discontinuous right there, zero or non-zero? [/QUOTE]
