Question

2. Two conduetdng plates are placed close together. The left plate is given a negative charge, and the right is given twice as much positive charge. The diagrams below show various distributions of charge on the two plates. Decide which arrangement is stable. Explain why each case is or is not stable. 120,11-1/2 . +1 Excess charge evenly distributed on both surfaces Excess charge unevenly distributed on both surfaces case Excess charge on inside surfaces ase case l unsfable because the left srde of the kf plate. ite of Hhe left pate ant phe left side of caseuusfobl leca use rt the the right flute aye equal avid m the soune direct CTutorials in Introductory Physics, Physics Education Group,Department of Physics University of Washington (Winter 2016)

Explanation / Answer

yes , case 2 is at equilibrium because we can see that the inner surface of plate has equal and opposite magnitude of charge and hence they are at equilibrium.
