January 18, 2000 PHY 712 — Problem Set #2 1. Consider a one-dimensional charge distribution of the form: 0 for « <-a/2 plz) =< por/a for -a/2<2 4/2, where pp and @ are constants. (a) Solve the Poisson equation for the electrostatic potential @(x) with the boundary condition ®(@ + —oc) = 0. (b) Find the corresponding electrostatic ficld E(x). (c) Plot ®(x) and F(z). (d) Discuss your results in terms of elementary Gauss’s Law arguments
