Possion's Equation

2V=ρvε0

we can solve Possion's equation by superposition which similar to how we solve non-homogeneous differential equation.

let V=VL+VP, in which VL indicates the homogeneous differential equation case (ρv=0) i.e., Laplace's equation.

2VL=0

as for the VP indicates the homogeneous boundary conditions, i.e., boundary Vb=0

2VP=ρvε0

assume that

Vp=m=1n=1Amnsinmπxbsinnπyaρv=m=1n=1Cmnsinmπxpxsinnπypy

notice that usually Cmn is known, but the Amn is unknown

for Cmn

Cmn=2px2pyXYρvsinmπxpxsinnπypydxdy
2VP=m=1n=1Amn[(mπpx)2+(nπpy)2]sinmπxbsinnπya

3D Laplace's Equation

Cartesian

V(x,y,z)=X(x)Y(y)Z(z)
2V=0XX+YY+ZZ=kx2ky2kz2=0
{X+kx2X=0Y+ky2Y=0Z+kz2Z=0kx2+ky2+kz2=0

Cylindrical

V(ρ,ϕ,z)=P(ρ)Φ(ϕ)Z(z)2V=1ρρ(ρVρ)+1ρ2Vϕϕ+Vzz=02VPΦZ=1ρ(ρPP+PP)+1ρ2ΦΦ+ZZ=01ρ(ρPP+PP)+1ρ2ΦΦ=ZZλ2ρ2PP+ρPP+ρ2λ2=ΦΦμ2

$$ \implies \left{ \begin{gather} Z''-\lambda^{2}Z=0 \\ \Phi'' + \mu^{2}\Phi = 0 \\ \rho^{2}P'' + \rho P' + \left(\rho{2}\lambda - \mu^{2}\right)P = 0 & #Eq3 \end{gather}\right. $$

in which Eq. 3 is a Bessel Function

notice that if λ=0 (e.g. the situation that V is independent of z), Eq. 3 would be an Euler-Cauchy Equation, rather than Bessel.

for λ>0, let x=ρλ and y=P

note that

dx=d(ρλ)=λdρy=dydx=dPdx=1λdPdρ

Eq.3 become

x2y+xy+(x2μ2)y=0
