Okay, I'm tutoring a 3rd year student in electrostatics tomorrow and I've come upon a problem his prof gave him that seems terrible to me. I think it might be a mistake on the part of the prof, because I don't think it is 3rd year appropriate
Here's the rundown of it
two concentric grounded conducting shells, radii a and b, b>a
in between them is a volume charge density given by a function $\rho(r)$
find the potential in all 3 distinct regions of space
The inner and outer spaces are trivial
But the middle space seems too complicated for basic 3rd year. Or am I wrong?
