Two Charges q>0 are located at r1=(d/2, 0,d/2) and r2=(-d/2,0,d/2) above an infinite conducting plate in the xy plane at z=0. The plate is grounded. Determine the induced charge density on the plate at z=0. Sketch this charge distribution along the line y = 0 and along the line x = 0. On your sketches indicate its sign and approximate magnitude as a function of x and y respectively. Interpret your results.

Note: Above graphs show the order of the magnitude of charge density, not its actual value.
