Question
Two large, thin, charged plastic circular
plates each of radius R are placed a short
distance s apart; s is much smaller than the
dimensions of a plate. The right-hand plate
has a positive charge of +Q evenly distributed
over its inner surface (Q is a positive number).
The left-hand plate has a negative charge of
-2Q evenly distributed over its inner surface.
A very thin plastic spherical shell of radius
r is placed midway between the plates (and
shown in cross section). It has a uniformly
distributed positive charge of +q. You can
ignore the contributions to the electric field
due to the polarization of the thin plastic
shell and the thin plastic plates.
