v ( r ) = 0
Therefore, Poissons equation reduces to Laplaces equation:
2V ( r ) = 0
V (r ) = V ( )
This make the problem much easier. Laplaces equation
becomes:
Be very careful during this
step! Make sure you
implement the gul durn
Laplacian operator correctly.

V ( ) = C1 ln [ ] + C 2
We find that this final equation (V ( ) = C 1 ln [ ] + C 2 ) will
satisfy Laplaces equation (try it!).
We must now apply the boundary conditions to determine
the value of constants C1 and C2.
* We know that on the outer surface of the inner
conductor (i.e., = a ), the electric potential is equal to
V0 (i.e., V ( = a ) = V0 ).

2) D ( r ) = 0 and 2V ( r ) = 0
3) D ( r ) and E ( r ) are normal to the surface of the
conductor (i.e., their tangential components are equal to
zero).
4) The electric field is precisely the same as that given by
eq. 4.31 in section 4-5!
