First he says Net EF =0 inside the plate but then he says it isnt.. can someone explain this to me?

The net E inside a conductor has to be zero always, to achieve this conductor makes an induced electric field inside it so that it can cancel the External field

So Enet = 0
But the book is finding the value of Einduced which is not equal to zero

Can you give us a bit more of the text?

how is that so

please ping if answeing too

Ohh wait

#

I understand it now

#

So in the first case, we only got one charged plate

#

And the charges induced on that plate cancel our the external electric field

vital solstice
buoyant moon
#

And in the second case, we introduced another plate

#

So now the external electric field cancels out the electric field due to THAT plate

#

Which leaves us with the induced charged

#

And from gauss law

#

Electric field due to a metallic sheet is sigma/2 epsilon not

vital solstice

#

And since they have effect in the same direction

#

We add them up

loud orbit
#

the Einduced right

buoyant moon
#

Which gives us sigma/2epsilom not

#

You got me bruv?

vital solstice
# loud orbit yea and that cancels out

To cancel that conductor induces charge on surface so that a new electric field of same magnitude but opposite direction forms inside it (this is called induced ef) which is what we are finding

#

We want the amount of charge induced

loud orbit
vital solstice
#

Yeah so net ef =0 but the book is finding the amount of charge should be induced on surface to do so

vital solstice
loud orbit

vital solstice
#

This is induced field

loud orbit

#

Induced cancels out External

#

We are finding how much to induce so that happens

loud orbit
vital solstice
#

Yes

#

But to cancel it how much do we need in the first place?

loud orbit
#

so there is no EF basically, we just calc how much ef is needed

#

efinduced*

buoyant moon
#

one gets cancelsd

#

one stays

#

to rule them all
