Two parallel metal plates, each of area A, are separatedby a distance 3d. Both are connected to ground and each plate carries no
charge. A third plate carrying charge Qis inserted between the two plates, located a distance dfrom the upper plate. As a result, negative charge is induced on each of the two original plates. a) In terms of Q, find the amount of charge on the upper plate, Q1, and the lower plate, Q2. (Hint: it must be true that Q
According to the law of energy conservation, the total mechanical energy of the object is conserved. A book falling a distance d would have a change in potential energy, resulting in the same change in kinetic energy. But the total mechanical energy must be the same. So there's 0 change in total energy of the system.
