When a charge Q is given to an isolated metal plate X of surface area A, its surface charge density becomes sigma . When an earthed parallel metal plate is brought close to the X . Find the magnitude of surface charge density on inner side of X.

Consider an isolated metal plate X of surface area A. We know that in isolated plate, uniform distribution of charge takes place on the 2 surfaces by Q/2, Q/2
Hence, the surface charge density becomes, σ = Q/2A
Now, when another earthed parallel metal plate is brough close to the X, outer surface charge of other plate will become zero.
Hence, outer surface of plate X and inner surface of other plate will become +Q and - Q respectively as shown in figure.
So the final surface charge density becomes,
