LAPLACE''S EQUATION IN SPHERICAL COORDINATES
spherical polar. We investigated Laplace''s equation in Cartesian coordinates in class and just began investigating its solution in spherical coordinates. Let''s expand that discussion here. We begin with Laplace''s equation: 2V. ∇ = 0 (1) We can write the Laplacian in spherical coordinates as: ( ) sin 1 (sin ) sin 1 ( ) 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 ...
