Two fixed, identical conducting plates $(\alpha $ and $\beta )$, each of surface area $S$ are charged to $-\mathrm{Q}$ and $\mathrm{q}$, respectively, where $Q{\rm{ }}\, > \,{\rm{ }}q{\rm{ }}\, > \,{\rm{ }}0.$ A third identical plate $(\gamma )$, free to move is located on the other side of the plate with charge $q$ at a distance $d$ as per figure. The third plate is released and collides with the plate $\beta $. Assume the collision is elastic and the time of collision is sufficient to redistribute charge amongst $\beta $ and $\gamma $.
