1. A conducting sphere of radius b is maintained at a potential V (q ) = V0 cosq . It is placed at the center of a grounded conducting sphere of radius a, a > b . a. Find the electrostatic potential F for the region b<r<a. b. What are the surface-charge densities, s a and s b , on the conducting surfaces at r = a and r = b , respectively?

a. Find the electrostatic potential in the region y > 0 . b. What is the 2-D Greens function, G ( x, y; x, y ) , for this problem? c. The line charge is removed, and the left half of the conducting plane ( x < 0 ) now is maintained at a constant potential V0 , while the right half is grounded; i.e.,
V0 (x < 0) V (x , z ) = 0 (x > 0)
