Problem.7 Consier otentil roblem in the hlf-sce ene by z 0, with Dirichlet bounry conitions on the lne z 0 (n t innity)..7.. Write own the rorite Green function G(~x; ~x 0 ). G D (~x; ~x 0 ) (x x 0 ) (x x 0 ) (x x 0 ) (x x 0 ) (x x 0 ) (x x 0 ) where x, x, n x enote the x, y, n z coorintes, resectively..7.b. If the otentil on the lne z 0 is secie to be V insie circle of rius centere t the origin, n 0 outsie tht circle, n n integrl exression for the otentil t the oint P secie in terms of cylinricl coorintes (; '; z). We're going to use eution. from Jckson: I (~x) (~x 0 ) @G D 0 () @n 0 Note tht (~x 0 ) V insie the circle of rius centere t the origin. Let's convert G D (~x; ~x 0 ) to cylinricl coorintes: G D (~x; ~x 0 ) ( cos ' 0 cos ' 0 ) ( sin ' 0 sin ' 0 ) (z z 0 ) ( cos ' 0 cos ' 0 ) ( sin ' 0 sin ' 0 ) (z z 0 ) s 0 0 (cos ' cos ' 0 sin ' sin ' {z } 0 ) (z z 0 ) cos(' ' 0 ) s 0 0 (cos ' cos ' 0 sin ' sin ' {z } 0 ) (z z 0 ) cos(' ' 0 ) S 0 0 cos(' ' 0 ) (z z 0 ) 0 0 cos(' ' 0 ) (z z 0 )

Clculte the surfce-chrge ensities t ny rbitrry oint on the lne n on the boss, n sketch their behvior s function of istnce (or ngle). Assuming the lnes to be innite n very fr from ech other, we see tht this system cn be roximte by groune shere in uniform electric el (we re given tht the urose of the non-groune lte is to cuse the electric el between the ltes to be constnt n uniform). Hence, eution. from Jckson gives the electric otentil between the ltes: E 0 r cos () On the boss, the surfce-chrge ensity is the sme s eution.5 from Jckson: r " 0 E 0 cos 7
