Question
Imagine that two parallel plates are charged to achieve a voltage difference Vo between the plates. They have area A and spacing d. The plates are then electrically isolated so that no charge can be added or taken away. A good conductor of thickness d/2 is placed in between the two plates, as shown. Does the voltage difference of the plates change? Why or why not? If yes,
what is it in terms of the old voltage difference V? (Don’t forget ∆V=-integral of Edx.)

- f. What is true of the voltage inside a solid conductor in electrostatic equilibrium? Choose one! The voltage inside a positively charged conductor increases as one approaches the center. The voltage inside a positively charged conductor decreases as one approaches the center. The voltage inside a conductor must be zero.
