The The bottom bottom of of the the cylinder cylinder has a a constant constant potential potential 0 . Find 0 and 0 has and the the top top has has a a constant constant potential potential 0 . Find the potential potential inside. inside. You You will will have the have to to use use one one of of the the recurrence recurrence relations relations for for Bessel functions functions discussed discussed in in class Bessel class (7 (7 pts). pts). 1 1

3. A thin metal disk of radius a lies in the xy plane and is centered at the origin. The electric potential on the surface of the disk is a constant 0 . There are no other charges in the problem. (a) Find the potential in all space using variable separation in cylindrical coordinates. Your answer should be expressed through a Fourier-Bessel integral. (b) Find the surface charge density of the disk. Hint: Use a Dirichlet boundary condition at z = 0 for s < a and a Neumann boundary condition for s > a. You will nd the following integrals useful:
