5. Consider a long rectangular "gutter" of length a in the x direction and infi- nite height in the y direction. The gutter is infinitely long in the z direction, so the potential V inside the gutter only depends on x andy. The left (x-0,y), and right (r- a,y) sides of the gutter are grounded so that the potential V(x,y) is zero on those surfaces. The bottom surface of the gutter is kept fixed at a potential given by V(r,y-0)-...
