Physics

A very large conducting plate (grounded) covers the yz plane. Aninfinitely long wire with constant linear charge density λ isplaced at a distance d from the plate. You can assume that the wireis at position (x, y) = (0, d) and extends along the zdirection.

a) Draw the location of the image charge that gives V = 0 on theconducting plate. Indicate value(s) and position(s) of the imagecharge(s).

b) Determine V (x, y) where the point (x, y) is an arbitraryposition (with x > 0 that is not on the line charge.

c) Determine the surface charge density at point (x, y) = (0,0)
