Problem

An uncharged metal plate of area S and thickness d is located at a distance r from the point charge q and is oriented perpendicular to the vector r. Find the force with which the plate is attracted to the charge. The thickness of the plate is smaller, and the distance r is much larger than the linear dimensions of the plate.
