INTRODUCTION
 The equation for the steady state temperature
 2u  2u
distribution in two dimensions is  2 0
x 2
y

This equation is derived by  2u  0 or

This equation also denoted as  2u  0 or u  0


and is known as the Laplace’s equation or potential equation

 Let a solution of equation(i) be of the form

u ( r ,  )  R ( r ) ( ) ------(ii)

 Then equation(i) becomes

r 2 R" (r )  rR '(r )  "( )


    (const.)
R(r )  ( )
------(iii)

  "   0 ----(iv)

r 2 R " rR '  R  0 -----(v)


 Equation (v) is solved by putting
r  et
So that it is reduced to
