1 EEE340Lecture 171 The E-field and surface charge density are And (4.15)

2 EEE340Lecture 172 Example P.4-23: Determine the potential and E-field between two wedge-shaped semi-infinite plates, 0<  <  Solution: The voltage is a function of  only, I.e. V(  ). The Laplace equation reduces to The boundary conditions are Therefore and  VoVo x y

3 EEE340Lecture 173 4-3: Uniqueness of Electrostatic Solution A solution to the Laplace’s (or Poisson’s) equation that satisfies the given boundary conditions is the (only) unique solution, regardless what method was employed. Proof: Textbook pp. 158-159. 4-4: Method of Image

4 EEE340Lecture 174 Observations: At any point on the ground As R As V is an even function w.s.t. the y-axis, i.e., The E-field is ground. GND y x Q (0,d,0)

5 EEE340Lecture 175 On the other hand, Conclusions: This problem is equivalent to a configuration of an image charge of –Q, and then remove the GND. The equivalence is only for the upper half plane. The lower half plane has zero V and zero. In other words, the image solution in the lower half plane must be dropped.
