Question:
Verify by direct substitution that the functions \(r^{n} \cos (n \theta)\) etc. shown in the text satisfy the Laplace equation in polar coordinates.
Calculate the streamfunction for the above-mentioned potential function and construct a contour-plot of streamlines for \(n=1 / 2,1\), and 3/2. MATLAB or MATHEMATICA may be used to make these contour-plots.
Also construct a contour-plot of equipotential lines for any one of the above cases and show that these lines are perpendicular to the streamlines.
