A parallel plate capacitor is charged as shown (Q is given). A metal slab with the total charge +Q is placed inside the capacitor as shown. The thickness of the slab is d. The distance between the top plate and the top of the slab is 2d, and the distance between the bottom plate and the bottom of the slab is d. Each plate is grounded through a galvanometer as shown. Find the charge that passes through each galvanometer after both switches are closed simultaneously.
