Conducting-wedge potential expansion

ID: conducting-wedge-potential-expansion

In a charge-free wedge bounded by equal-potential conductor faces, separation of Laplace's equation gives the displayed local harmonic expansion. Bounded potential at a finite corner removes negative powers. Outer boundary conditions determine the remaining coefficients; the conductor potential alone does not determine a nonconstant solution in an unbounded domain.
