Answer:
The total electric potential at mid way due to 'q' is
The net Electric field at midway due to 'q' is 0.
Solution:
According to the question, the separation between two parallel plates, plate A and plate B (say) = d
The electric potential at a distance d due to 'Q' is:
Now, for the Electric potential for the two plates A and B at midway between the plates due to 'q':
For plate A,
Similar is the case with plate B:
Since the electric potential is a scalar quantity, the net or total potential is given as the sum of the potential for the two plates:
Now,
The Electric field due to charge Q at a distance is given by:
Now, if the charge q is mid way between the field, then distance is .
Electric Field at plate A, at midway due to charge q:
Similarly, for plate B:
Both the fields for plate A and B are due to charge 'q' and as such will be equal in magnitude with direction of fields opposite to each other and hence cancels out making net Electric field zero.
(a) The net flux through the coil is zero.
In fact, the magnetic field generated by the wire forms concentric circles around the wire. The wire is placed along the diameter of the coil, so we can imagine as it divides the coil into two emisphere. Therefore, the magnetic field of the wire is perpendicular to the plane of the coil, but the direction of the field is opposite in the two emispheres. Since the two emispheres have same area, then the magnetic fluxes in the two emispheres are equal but opposite in sign, and so they cancel out when summing them together to find the net flux.
(b) If the wire passes through the center of the coil but it is perpendicular to the plane of the wire, the net flux through the coil is still zero.
In fact, the magnetic field generated by the wire forms concentric lines around the wire, so it is parallel to the plane of the coil. But the flux is equal to
where
is the angle between the direction of the magnetic field and the perpendicular to the plane of the coil, so in this case 
and so the cosine is zero, therefore the net flux is zero.
