can someone walk me through this --- you'd be a lifesaver
a rectangular pipe running parallel to the z axis(-�‡ to +�‡) has 3 grounded metal sides at y=0, y=a and x=0. the fourth side at x=b is maintained at a specified potential v0(y).
a. Develop a general formula for the potential within the pipe
b. Find the potential explicitly for the case v0(y)=constant
c. find the net charge per unit length on the side opposite v0
Solve Laplace's equation using separation of variables. Choose trignometric functions as a function of y and hyperbolic fnctions as a function of x.
