The Laplace equation in plane polar coordinates has the form
∇2ϕ=[r1∂r∂(r∂r∂)+r21∂θ2∂2]ϕ(r,θ)=0.
Using separation of variables, derive the general solution to the equation that is singlevalued in the domain 1<r<2.
For
f(θ)=n=1∑∞Ansinnθ
solve the Laplace equation in the annulus with the boundary conditions:
∇2ϕ=0,1<r<2,ϕ(r,θ)={f(θ),f(θ)+1,r=1r=2
