Electrostatic Induction on a Conductor

I am trying to look at the induced charge (or voltage potential) of an isolated conductor that is in the presence of an electric field. Specifically what I want to do is to define a surface charge density on one face of a conductor, and then look at the potential that develops in a neighboring conductor that is not grounded and initially has no charge.
From my very limited experience with COMSOL, the simulation will not run (or will run forever) unless I specify some potential or charge value on every conducting surface in the model. So the only time I have ever gotten any results is when I have initially defined the values I am looking to solve for which makes the process completely redundant.
Can I do this in COMSOL, and if so, how to I go about constraining this problem?

I am also trying to simulate the same. could you find any solution?
Thanks
