Project Summary
In this project I will be solving the Laplace equation in 2D numerically in order to calculate the Voltage/Potential Field in a pre-defined region. After finding said region, the end goal is to produce a visualization of Voltage, Electric field, Flux field, and charge density as a function of position.
Scenario:
As specified in the project prompt, there exists within a defined region of 20x20cm where the absolute center 0,0 corresponds to the centroid of the system. In the region, a square conductor with a voltage of 10 volts as well as a ring with specified thickness contains a voltage of 3 volts.
