Please answer d and e only 1. A pair of thick conducting slabs are fixed inplace near one other as shown, with theirfaces parallel. The faces have area A, whichwe will take to be very large compared to theslabs' separation.Initially the slabs are neutral, but then a netcharge of +5 C is placed on the left slab, and anet charge of +3 C is placed on the right slab.When things have settled down, some amountof charge has migrated to the outer faces ofthe slabs, and some amount of charge hasmigrated to the inner faces of the slabs. Thissituation is diagrammed below.+5 C+3 C+5C+3CQ 5-Q, 3-Q QWS E4 (rev. 3.0)Page 65c) Repeat parts (a) and (b) for the right slab, inorder to find Q2.Notice that the charges on the left slab add upto +5 C as required by charge conservation-and likewise for the right slab. Notice alsothat, in accordance with the rules forconductors, all charges reside on the surfacesof the conductors. The goal of this questionwill be to use other rules for conductors todetermine the unknown charges Q1 and Q2.d) What are the charges on the inner surfaces ofthe slabs?e) You should have found that the charges on theinner surfaces of the slabs are equal andopposite. This will be true regardless of howmuch charge is on either slab. Can you provethis by drawing an appropriate Gaussiansurface and making use of the fact that thefield in either slab vanishes? *a) Treating Qı and Q2 as known quantities, usesuperposition to find an expression for theelectric field within the left slab.b) Taking into account the fact that the slab is aconductor, use this expression to find Q1

d) Both the charges are equal and opposite in the inner surface.

d) What are the charges on the inner surfaces of the slabs? e) You should have found that the charges on the inner surfaces of the slabs are equal and opposite. This will be true regardless of how much charge is on either slab. Can you prove this by drawing an appropriate Gaussian surface and making use of the fact that the field in either slab vanishes? *

A common demonstration involves charging a rubber balloon, which is an insulator, by rubbing it on your hair and then touching the balloon to a ceiling or wall, which is also an insulator. Because of the electrical attraction between the charged balloon and the neutral wall, the balloon sticks to the wall. Imagine now that we have two infinitely large, flat sheets of insulating material. One is charged, and the other is neutral. If these sheets are brought into contact, does an attractive force exist between them as there was for the balloon and the wall?
