Repulsion ki wjh se charge surface pr hi to aajaega bhai

Ik that but what magnitude will go to which surface

Wo to system of parallel plates pr depend krega na ki as ps ke plates ka charge kesa hai lekin jo bhi Distribution hoga dono side pr uska sum to net charge on plate ke equal aayega

Suppose I have 3 plates with charge Q1 Q2 Q3 then how will we distribute

Corners wli plates ke outer surface pr total charges/2 or inner side pr Net charge on plate - charge on outer plate

Ye ik that but I am asking like how to derive it

i can give you a hint to begin with:- consider a gaussian surface, which lies inside the metallic width of one of the plates, since the flux through it would be 0, start balancing off the E field due to all the plates/surfaces in the system, within the surface....
