Solve Laplace equation with boundary conditions

AI Thread Summary
To solve the Laplace equation for the potential function between two concentric cylinders, the potential V is dependent only on the radial coordinate s. Given the boundary conditions of V = 0 at r = 0.015 m and V = 100 at r = 0.025 m, there are two unknowns that can be determined using these conditions. The discussion confirms that with the provided boundary conditions, it is feasible to derive the potential function V. The participants express confidence in their ability to solve the problem despite not having completed the solution yet. The conversation emphasizes the importance of applying boundary conditions to find the potential function in this electrostatics problem.

Homework Statement


Calculate potential function and the electric field for the region between two concentric cylinders, where V ( inner cylinder) = 0 at r = 0.015 m and V(outer cylinder) = 100 for r = 0.025


Homework Equations


\Delta (square ) V = 0



The Attempt at a Solution


so, V depends only on s, and we will just end up having two unknowns and we will need two boundary conditions that we already have.
am i right?

Yes, you have two unknowns and two boundary conditions...what do you get for V?
 
i haven't actually solved it yet, but i am pretty sure that i can figure it out. thanks.

Thread 'Help with Time-Independent Perturbation Theory "Good" States Proof'

(Disclaimer: this is not a HW question. I am self-studying, and this felt like the type of question I've seen in this forum. If there is somewhere better for me to share this doubt, please let me know and I'll transfer it right away.) I am currently reviewing Chapter 7 of Introduction to QM by Griffiths. I have been stuck for an hour or so trying to understand the last paragraph of this proof (pls check the attached file). It claims that we can express Ψ_{γ}(0) as a linear combination of...
