| May 2, 2021 at 20:44 | comment | added | BioPhysicist | @green_32 Oh, I thought you were doing the typical example of a grounded sheet. | |
| May 2, 2021 at 20:41 | comment | added | green_32 | Yes, I agree that real charge does it, but since the conducting sheet is electrically neutral, for the negative charges induced due to real charge there must be a positive charge induced as well on the opposite side, So , for every positive charge induced there is a negative charge induced on the opposite side, hence for every field produced due to negative induced charges ,there exists an equal and opposite field due to positive induced charges, making the net field zero. I think I am not able to visualise clearly what is happening in 3-D, please help I'm very confused. | |
