2. Jackson 2.11: Image potential for charged wire at x = R parallel to a
cylinder of radius b centered at the origin.
(a) The potential in cylindrical coordinates is
p

(, ) =
ln 2 + R2 2R cos
20

p
+ 0 ln 2 + r2 2r cos
where r is the distance of the image from the axis of the cylinder. To
achieve = V on surface of the cylinder and lim (, ) = 0,
we choose r = b2 /R and 0 = .
(b) With the above conditions, we find

Note that the potential at the cylindrical surface is

The absolute values of the numerator and denominator in the above
fraction are equal. The phase of the numerator is
