Hi all,

I solved a problem of electrostatics potencial of a cylinder with special condicions. When I plotted the obtained solution, I used this code:

\[Epsilon] = 8.8541878176 10^-12;
R=1;
maxx=10;
Vin[\[Rho]_, \[Phi]_] := (2 \[Sigma] R)/(\[Pi] \[Epsilon])
Sum[If[OddQ[k], 1/k^2 Sin[k \[Phi]] (\[Rho]/R)^k, 0], {k, 0, maxx}]
Vout[\[Rho]_, \[Phi]_] := (2 \[Sigma] R)/(\[Pi] \[Epsilon])
Sum[If[OddQ[k], 1/k^2 Sin[k \[Phi]] (\[Rho]/R)^-k, 0], {k, 0,
maxx}]
V[\[Rho]_, \[Phi]_] :=
If[R < \[Rho], Vin[\[Rho], \[Phi]], Vout[\[Rho], \[Phi]]]
Show[
RevolutionPlot3D[
V[\[Rho], \[Phi]], {\[Rho], 0, 2}, {\[Phi], 0, 2 \[Pi]}],
Graphics3D[{Blue, Opacity[0.5], Cylinder[]}]
]I got this output:

Do you get the same problem with the image?

I want to see a cylinder of radius R=1, centered in the origin with Z as vertical axis.

Greatings.

I get a very nice cylinder of radius 1, as you said one should.
Are you sure you don't have some old definitions from earlier commands hanging around?

(Using Mathematica 6.0 btw)
 
That all code I used.

Where can I look for definitions?
 
I'll attach the notebook with the image in an output cell. If you evaluate the cell with "img = ..." you can do with it what you like (e.g. Export["filename", img, "format"]).

Same problem, I added one constant that wasn't included.

Please check the file I attached here:
