A point charge q of mass m is released from rest at a distance d from an infinite grounded conducting plane. Show that the charge hits the plane after an amount of time given by:
Δt=πdq√2πϵ0md
I can't seem to start this one. I'm assuming I need to start by finding the force by the charge as a function of z, and setting it equal to md2zdt giving a differential equation. The diff eq. seems hard to solve, but a hint I recieved was to multiply both sides by dzdt, but I don't see how this simplifies the problem.
