Homework Statement
The problem is given in the attached picture, but I already have a solution to part a) which I am confident in (I have checked it carefully, compared to other students and confirmed it with my graduate-TA).
Part b) asks us to plot the equipotentials but I cannot figure out how. I cannot get this infinite series into a form which I can use to plot. I have tried several online calculators, I have tried separating the series into two different series and re-writing it a number of different ways but I cannot get it into a usable form.
Homework Equations
V(r,Θ) = Σ (2V0/a)[(1-(-1)^n)/cosh(n*pi)]cosh(n*pi*y/a)sin(n*pi*x/a)
The Attempt at a Solution
See above. I think I can answer part c) and I have an answer to part d) I just need a form of this solution which can be used to plot equipotentials in the x-y plane.
