Suppose I have a negatively charged plate at -10000v (static) and a neutral plate in front of it; quiet close to it, this charged plate will induce +10000v in the inner surface of this neutral plate right??....or near to that potential difference if the case is not ideal isn’t it??.
And an opposite charge of the same magnitude in the outer surface of this neutral plate….that is -10000v right??
Just confirming….I don’t find things in such details in the net or the books…..I just thought bout……is this true??....this things been a real head ach to me
I doubt if any article has been written on this.

The neutral plate will remain neutral overall, but the charge will rearrange itself in order to align with the presence of the negatively charged plate.
So if the negative plate is to the left of the neutral plate then you will have all the positive charge on the left side of the plate and all the negative on the right side. Overall however, it remains charge neutral

Charge means that one material has more electrons than it need relative to another material That lacks electron.
If the two materials are brought in contact the charges balance themselves just like does temperature between heat conducting materials.
In the Case of capacitors which uses plates and a dieletric the plates charge up to a voltage when a current is applied..

if these r equipotential surfaces.....there wont be inner and outer surfaces...only two surfaces..with same type of charge on one plate...opp charge on ther plate......

of course u r. this fact was demonstrated by faraday in his ice pail experiment. u can search 4 it
