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?
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?
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:
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.

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
Formal solution of electrostatic boundary-value problem. Green’s function. The solution of the Poisson or Laplace equation in a finite volume V with either Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions on the bounding surface S can be obtained by means of so-called Green’s functions.
