उत्तर
It is given that the plates of the capacitor have the same charges. In other words, they are at the same potential, so the potential difference between them is zero.
Let us consider that the charge on face II is q so that the induced charge on face III is `-q` and the distribution is according to the figure.
Now, if we consider Gaussian surface ABCD, whose faces lie inside the two plates, and calculate the field at point P due to all four surfaces, it will be
`E_1 = (Q-q)/(2∈_0A)`
`E_2 = (q)/(2∈_0A)`
`E_3 = (q)/(-2∈_0A)`
`E_4 = (Q+q)/(2∈_0A)` (It is `-Ve` because point P is on the left side of face IV. )
Now, as point P lies inside the conductor, the total field must be zero.
`therefore` E1 + E2 + E3 + E4 = 0
Or
`Q-q+q-q+Q+q = 0`
∴ q = 0
Hence, on faces II and III, the charge is equal to zero; and on faces I and IV, the charge is Q.
Thus, it seems that the whole charge given is moved to the outer surfaces, with zero charge on the facing surfaces.
