V1=0
V4=0

the Ea , Eb and Ec direction are given considering q and (Q+q) to be positive charges...!

Ea= qAεo

Eb=Ec=Q+qAεo

V21=q.dAεo

V24=V23+V34=-(Q+q).2dAεo-(Q+q).dAεo=-3(Q+q)dAεo

V21=V24 (since it is potential difference between plate 2 and earth...

thus, we will get q=-34Q

giving, field between 3 and 4 as Q4Aεo

pd b/w 3, 4 is correct, but q on left of 1 --PLS TELL WHY IT IS 0.

okay!! sorry!!

I missed out on that!!

charge on plate 1 + plate 4 = 0

and charge on left of plate 1 = charge on right of plate 4

that comes from field in metals=0 and p.d. between 2 same objects is same!
