Abstract:We explain a general mathematical method that allows one to calculate the electrostatic potential created by a uniformly charged rectangular plate with arbitrary length and width at an arbitrary point in space. Exact analytical results for the electrostatic potential due to a uniformly charged finite rectangular plate are shown for special cases in order to illustrate the implementation of the formalism. Results of this nature are very important to various problems in physical sciences, applied mathematics and … Show more
