E&M Ch.3b: Separation of variables • Quick review of quiz and homework • When to use separation of variables? • In charge-free regions • With well-specified boundary conditions • Without sufficient symmetry to use Gauss’ law • How to use separation of variables? • Guess form of solutions based on BC • Separate variables, insert guessed solutions with constants • Apply BC and solve for constants
Poisson and Laplace equations Gauss: Potential: combine to get Poisson’s eqn: Laplace equation holds in charge-free regions: Last week we found the general solutions to Laplace’s eqn. in spherical and cylindrical coordinates for the case where V depends only on r (Prob.3.3, p.116) →
