Grounded Means Zero Electric Potential: Exploring the Method of Images

[QUOTE="sinus, post: 6851308, member: 730344"] Can anyone explain to me why grounded means zero electric potential. I confuse what's the relation between infinite ground conducting plane and its electric potential (the method of images). [ATTACH=full]321781[/ATTACH] I have a several question: 1. Why the conductor plane must be infinite, while in reality there's no such one. 2. Why the electric potential must be zero to using this method? 2. If the plane isn't be grounded, does its electric potential not zero? What's exactly that making the potential in the plane zero when we grounded it? How ? As far as I know that the electron easily run into the ground, does it mean the plane become positive charge? [/QUOTE]
