A conducting plane coincides with the xy plane. For a distribution of charges above the plane, the method of images gives the following result for the electric field intensity on the plane, as a function of p, the cylindrical coordinate perpendicular to the x axis: qkd az E = 2ne, (p2 + k?d?)3/2 Determine the surface charge density p. on the plane and the total charge Q on the plane. Hint: The infinitesimal area element on the plane will be pdp de
