Poissons' Equation, Electric Potential
1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
In an imaginary sphere with radius R, there exist uniformly distributed space charge ρ. Find the potential in all points in space, bounded by this sphere. (r<R). Dielectric is air. ******Must use Poisson or Laplace equation****** 2. Relevant equations [itex]\nabla\cdot\nabla ={\Large -\frac{\rho}{\epsilon _{0}}}[/itex] 3. The attempt at a solution I did everything, and I found that one of the constants is 0. But I get stuck when trying to find the second constant. [itex]\phi (r) ={\Large -\frac{\rho r^{2}}{6\epsilon _{0}}}+C_{2}[/itex] I know that potential is constant on R. But I don't know how to use that. I am basically stuck here. I tried with some derivations, that equal 0 etc. But didn't get me anywhere. I have the solution for the constant: [itex]C_{2}={\Large \frac{\rho R^{2}}{2\epsilon _{0}}}[/itex] Can somebody help me? |

Nevermind I got it. I misplaced the la place equation.
