Homework Statement
Consider the Laplace’s equation, ∆u(r,θ) = 0, inside the quarter-circle of radius 2 (0 ≤ θ < π, 0 ≤ r ≤ 2), where the boundary θ is insulated, and [itex]u(r,\theta/2)=0[/itex]
Show that the insulated boundary condition can mathematically be expressed as
[tex]\frac{\partial u}{\partial \theta}u(r,0)=0[/tex]
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
It's insulated, so I think that means[tex]]\frac{\partial u(r,0)}{\partial t}=0[/tex]If we use separation of variables [itex]u(r,\theta)=\Phi(\theta)G(r)[/itex] then wouldn't insulated mean I need to take the time derivative of this, using the chain rule?
