Homework Statement


Calculate potential function and the electric field for the region between two concentric cylinders, where V ( inner cylinder) = 0 at r = 0.015 m and V(outer cylinder) = 100 for r = 0.025


Homework Equations


\Delta (square ) V = 0



The Attempt at a Solution


so, V depends only on s, and we will just end up having two unknowns and we will need two boundary conditions that we already have.
am i right?

Yes, you have two unknowns and two boundary conditions...what do you get for V?
 
i haven't actually solved it yet, but i am pretty sure that i can figure it out. thanks.
 
Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'
This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...
Thread 'Understanding how to "tack on" the time wiggle factor'
The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
