Two large conducting plates form a wedge of angle α as shown-in the diagram above. The plates are insulated from each other; one has a potential V0 and the other is grounded. Assuming that the plates are large enough so that the potential difference between them is independent of the cylindrical coordinates z and ρ, the potential anywhere between the plates as s function of the angle φ is
A. V0/α
B. V0φ/α
C. V0α/φ
D. V0φ2/α
E. V0α/φ2
(GR9277 #12)
Solution:
Boundary conditions:
V(φ = 0) = 0
V(φ = α) = V0
(A) FALSE
V0/α does not depend on φ
(B) TRUE
V0φ/α = 0 for φ = 0
V0φ/α = V0 for φ = α
(C) FALSE. V0α/φ = ∞ for φ = 0
(D) FALSE
For φ = α, V0φ2/α = V0α
(E) FALSE
For φ = α, V0φ2/α = V0α
Answer: B
