Solve Laplace's equation using the FD method for the structure given below (figure 3). The
boundary of the left half of the structure is biased at -1V, whereas the boundary of the right
half is biased at +5V. Use a step size of 2cm in both dimensions.
Decrease the step size to 1cm,0.5cm and 0.25cm and repeat part (1).
Compare the results obtained in parts (1) and (2) for some points inside the structure. Make
error analysis (a plot would be a good idea).
Produce contour plots for the equi-potential lines inside the structure. (In MATLAB, there
is a function for contouring.)
Produce a vector plot of the electric field inside the structure (bonus marks).
