Hi,
This should be quite a simple question but here goes:
My question is about the conservation of electrical potential energy. Say we have a conducting plate filled with a positive charge Q. If we place a small +ve charge q in its vicinity it will accelerate away as the charges repel each other, where has the potential energy in Q's Field "gone" that repelled q?
