Homework Statement
the potential vo(0) is specified on the surface of a hollow sphere find the pot inside .
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
This is a example problem in the book but don't get this one part
The general solution is V=[tex]\sum[/tex]Alrlpl(cos@)
The only boundary we are told that at the surface its vo(0)
so
V=[tex]\sum[/tex]Alrlpl(cos@)=Vo(0)
now this the part i am lost. To find the constant I know from the other section to find this, I do ex the gen sol is say sin(k) than to find constant it would be sin(k)sin(k') than i would integrate it than i would plug in some val for k and k' and see what i get
but here they go to [tex]\int[/tex]-1 to 1 Pl(x)Pl'(x)dx= [tex]\int[/tex] 0 to pie pl(cos@)p'(cos@)sin@d@ where did they get this from?
