[QUOTE="willem2, post: 6812538, member: 200209"] [ATTACH type="full"]315778[/ATTACH] The field in area C is not zero. You argued yourself that a neutral conductor can't produce a field outside of itself, so the field in the conductor can't cancel the field of the charged plate outside of itself. This would only work with grounded conductor (wich wouldn't be neutral). You can also see this if you use gauss' law on the red and blue volumes. (which have the same enclosed charge, since the conductor is neutral) [/QUOTE]
