T1 : Solution
Consider the coaxial cone of figure, where the gap serves as an insulator between the two conducting
cones. Here V depends only on , so Laplaces equation coordinates becomes

We now apply the boundary conditions to determine the integration constants A and B.
V ( = 1) = 0 0 = A ln (tan 1/2) + B
