Learn how to solve electrostatic problems. Overview of solution methods. Simple 1-D problems. Reduce Poisson’s equation to Laplace’s equation. Capacitance. The method of images. Overview. Illustrated below is a fairly general problem in electrostatics. Many practical problems are special cases of this general problem. Where to start?
Examples of Electrostatic Problems with Dielectrics Problem: Find (electric flux density), (electric field intensity), and (polarization) for a metallic sphere (radius a, charge Q), coated by a dielec-tric (radius b), and the charge densities at the interfaces. Solution: Use Gauss’ Law In region 0, In region 1, a < r < b:
Electrostatic Problems with Solutions and Explanations. Electrostatic charges and forces problems are presented along with detailed solutions. Problems. Problem 1: What is the net force and its direction that the charges at the vertices A and C of the right triangle ABC exert on the charge in vertex B?
So for V, we have only one 2 nd order DE to solve, but if we approach the problem using electric field q, we end up with two equations: · q L Ù, H q L Ù In general, there are two major ways to solve the potential problems in electrostatic: (a) Solve as a source problem using integration, (b) Solve as a boundary value problem, using boundary

1.1. Vector calculus. In this problem we recall a number of standard identities of vector calculus which we will frequently use in electrodynamics. De nitions/conventions: We commonly write the well-known vectorial di erentiation op-erators grad, div, rot using the vector ~r of partial derivatives ri := @=@xi as.
A simple problem. What is electrostatics? DC behavior – no time variation or waves. No magnetic field or currents. Study of the behavior of stationary electric charges and the resulting electric fields. Electrostatics can be formulated in an integral form.
