Calculate voltage V(r) (everywhere in space!) for 2 equal/opposite point charges a distance “d” above and below the origin. Where is V(r)=0?
(If you’re done early, figure out Ex, Ey, and Ez from this voltage, and evaluate (simplify) AT the plane z=0)

Could we use the method of images for THIS problem? Find V(r) everywhere z>0, Given these two charges above a (grounded, infinite, conducting) plane?
A) Yes, it requires 1 “image charge”B) Yes, it requires 2 images C) Yes, more than 2 image chargeD) No, this problem can NOT be
solved using the “trick” of image charges…
