6.0 LAPLACE’S AND POISSON’S EQUATIONS AND UNIQUENESS THEOREM
- In realistic electrostatic problems, one seldom knows the charge distribution – thus all the solution methods introduced up to this point have a limited use.
- These solution methods will not require the knowledge of the distribution of charge.
6.1 LAPLACE’S AND POISSON’S EQUATIONS

6.2 UNIQUENESS THEOREM
Uniqueness theorem states that for a V solution of a particular electrostatic problem to be unique, it must satisfy two criterion :
(i) Laplace’s equation
(ii) Potential on the boundaries
Example : In a problem containing two infinite and parallel conductors, one conductor in z = 0 plane at V = 0 Volt and the other in the z = d plane at V = V0 Volt, we will see later that the V field solution between the conductors is V = V0z / d Volt.
This solution will satisfy Laplace’s equation and the known boundary potentials at z = 0 and z = d.
Now, the V field solution V = V0(z + 1) / d will satisfy Laplace’s equation but will not give the known boundary potentials and thus is not a solution of our particular electrostatic problem.
Thus, V = V0z / d Volt is the only solution (UNIQUE SOLUTION) of our particular problem.
6.3 SOLUTION OF LAPLACE’S EQUATION IN ONE VARIABLE
Ex.6.1: Two infinite and parallel conducting planes are separated d meter, with one of the conductor in the z = 0 plane at V = 0 Volt and the other in the z = d plane at V = V0 Volt. Assume and between the conductors.

(c) between the conductors ; (d) Dn on the conductors ; (e) on the conductors ; (f) capacitance per square meter.
